I overheated again last night, waking to find that Col had thrown his half of the doona on me. It was such a warm day that we all ended up in shirts and thongs at Alice!
Davies and Morgans were ready by 0830hrs and beat us today as the kids couldn't find their hose for the air compressor. They had to wait for ours so that they could pump up their tires for the tar driving today.
The first stop was the beautiful Ormiston Gorge which never fails to impress!
Then Ellery Creek Big Hole. Leah, Peter and I walked around the right-hand side for the best colours of sunlight on the cliff.
Standley Chasm is a private property and they ask for $12 per adult. We timed it perfectly to have the midday sun shine into the slot.
"I enjoyed walking with Siân there and back.
We arrived at Alice Springs and parked next to the Todd River (which was dry) and wandered over to the mall for lunch. Unfortunately, I didn't get to sit next to Siân for lunch, but I did enjoy a delicious steak sandwich. An Aboriginal man asked Leah for her leftovers, but we couldn't find him again to give him ours, I was quite sad.
After setting up camp (I was amazed at the speed that Siân set up her swag), we did a big food shop at Alice. Out of Jack, Leah and Siân who came with me, Siân was by FAR the most helpful!
We came back to camp for a shower and spag bol (perfectly cooked by Col) before relaxing next to Siân before bed - a perfect way to end the day!!
But before I could relax fully, I had to get out my camera, giant lens, tripod, extender and shutter release cable to get some gorgeous photos of the moon.
Excited to spend another gorgeous day with Siân tomorrow!" Written for me by Siân :)
Thanks for doing the clothes washing today Jordan, and thanks for the photography motivation Gary.
