So we set off to Alice Springs this morning, eagerly looking forward to getting internet reception and a good hot shower, after a number of days in the “dirt”. A quick trip 30 K’s up the Stuart Hwy to to Stuart Wells Roadhouse for Breakie. Typical outback roadhouse with with snakes (including a huge python) and other desert attractions, even had the first 3 legged camel I have ever seen. From there is was a short trip of 100 K’s to Alice Springs our home for the next 4 days. Weather mid 20’s and sunny but very cool nights, down into the single figures. Although the cold nights should star to disappear soon as we move further north and cross the Tropic of Capricorn next Monday.
