Sat 27 & Sun 28 Aug 2011 Ti Tree to Alice Springs 190km + Alice Springs

We left Ti Tree around around 8:30am and began our short drive to Alice Springs. We weren’t expecting anything too exciting on this “short drive”. That thought was short lived.

About 60km south of Ti Tree (135km north of Alice Springs) is a little settlement by the name of Aieron, home to one of the best kept secrets in this part of the world, The Anmatjere Man. Continue reading

Tuesday 23 August 2011 Katherine and Nitmiluk Gorge

We had expected to have an early start for our day as we had booked a 7am Breakfast Cruise on Nitmiluk Gorge (aka Katherine Gorge).  We didn’t take into consideration a little night time disturbance at the caravan park.

Around 10:45 last night we could hear some rumblings outside in front of our van. Then someone started exclaiming that they were being flooded.  Now, this got Deb’s attention.   😛    Continue reading
