Alice wasn't too bad. I definitely wouldn't rate it as one of the top towns we visited. There are lots of things to do around Alice though.The town itself, while boasting quite a few shops, wasnt much to look at. We stayed a fair way out of town away from all the problems... or so… Continue reading Alice Springs

Tennant Creek
As I mentioned in yesterdays post, Ben used to live in Tennant Creek and has been very excited about the prospect of showing me around his much loved town. He had talked it up so much that I was expecting a quaint, little friendly town with a real community feel. As we drove in to… Continue reading Tennant Creek
Race around Australia
That is what it feels like we are doing at the moment. Such huge distances to cover in as short a period as possible. There is nothing for 100's of kilometres, and we really don't want to hang around in the middle of nowhere. So hence we have spent yesterday and today driving humongous distances… Continue reading Race around Australia

Post mixups
-I accidently published 'Mataranka Downdgraded' after 'Catch up Katherine - Kakadu' when really it should have been before. Can't work out how to fix it on my phone.
Mataranka downgraded – Edith Falls is the best place in Earth!!
Looking around at the dry, barren, arid scrub that is all over the Northern Territory it is hard to imagine that you will find ANYTHING of interest in this place. Then out of nowhere you will find something so spectacularly beautiful you are completely astounded and gobsmacked. This happened the other day. We had arrived… Continue reading Mataranka downgraded – Edith Falls is the best place in Earth!!
Catch up post… Katherine – Kakadu
I promise to never call anywhere the best place on earth again. Every time I do I find somewhere even better. I am also running out of adjectives to describe things. I apologise if this is sounding repetitive.It has been about 5 mins since I completed my last post, but I have sooo much to… Continue reading Catch up post… Katherine – Kakadu
The best place on Earth – Mataranka Springs
After spending a few days in a windy dust hole, I was ready for a change... and a nice long soak in something.Matatanka Springs was like a desert oasis. The trees around the river and the spring reminded me of a rain forest - although Ben assures me that it is NOT a rain forest.… Continue reading The best place on Earth – Mataranka Springs
One week in
Mount Isa was wonderful!! There isn't really much to do there but we had a nice grassy caravan spot and there were plenty of shops to wander around. Its amazing how much you can come to miss civilisation after such a short time. I have no idea how I managed to survive two years in… Continue reading One week in
