Headed north from Alice through nothing but flies and the occasional road house, one of which claimed to be the UFO centre of Australia. Crossed the Tropic of Capricorn and went to see the Devils Marbles.
Once at Tennants Creek stopped for Red Rooster dinner and managed to get bit further on to just past three ways, so now heading East. Stopped in a parking area which was really remote and had a predigious number of flies (still don’t understand what they all do when I am not there). Beautiful sunrise however.
Next day another long drive. Saw a wrecked car and caravan which was a sobering sight.
A reminder to take care
Crossed the border in to Queensland. We were recommended a free camp site at Corella dam, the other side of Mount Isa. Once past Mount Isa the countryside much improved with flowers and trees which was lovely. The campsite was great. We did our first water crossing, saw our first small crocodile and had a campfire.
