The Magnificent Devils Marbles North of Alice Springs
What a very different attraction !! Absolutely fascinating & a MUST for travellers The scenery is breath taking and the Boulders that are stacked upon each other are a marvel to see. We are so impressed we are staying overnight in the area with NO power & NOT allowed to use the generator. Dingo s are known to be in this area & frequent the camp site at night !! Can’t wait too hopefully see them.
Annie even had me climbing some of the boulders & that is one experience !! Sadly it is a cloudy day and might not get to see the starry night HOWEVER we have the telly working from our satellite BUT no signal for my computer SO Blog will have to be put on hold. This place is SO tranquil IF ever you are near Alice Springs this place is a Must See & the camping overnight fee is $3.50 ~!! Tomorrow we had further adventures on the way to Alice Springs This life is so much better than sittin on me bum at home and worse still? Working !!!!
Tennant Creek a good place to pass thru !!!
We arrived at TC & wasn’t impressed with the place. Lots of indigenous people were walkin aimlessly around the shopping centres, which were heavily fortified with heavy meshing across the windows (one has to wonder why) although the main street was fairly clean the outward streets were littered with old beer bottles & cans even empty beer boxes were lyng around. We visited the old Telegraph station & as a tourist attraction it didn’t rate at all !! we booked into the caravan park had a shower & looked forward to a round of Golf next morning Again we were very disappointed !! the <greens< were red dirt .The fairways are spinnifex and the T offs are a wooden platform!! We gave it a miss and headed for the Devils Marbles about 100kms further south On route to the Marbles a Giant Rig (truck) had parked on the red dirt alongside the road & we heard him chatting on the CB (its like eaves droppin!!)
First caller (on CB)” you alright mate? Need any assistance?” 2nd Caller “Nah mate I’ve got a Skippy wrapped in my tyres & one of its bones has buggared my suspension,Im awaiting assistance from the yard, Thanks” What a terrible thing BUT sadly quite a lot of Kangaroos killed on Australian Roads Next stop & overnight stay Devils Marbles & what a treat !!
