had a couple of lazy days in Alice, then headed north through the tropic of Capricorn
and the Devil's marbles
Refuelled in Tennant Creek, then stopped overnight at Banka Banka station. Our neighbours in caravan park in Alice had recommended it. They are doing a roaring trade. Definitely the popular place to stay, well away from any town.
We continued on up the Stuart Highway to Daly Waters pub
for a lunch of barra bites and chips.
decided not to go on the helicopter ride.
We then backtracked 30 km to the Buchanan highway, and headed west.
Anthills started to appear
and we did our first river crossing
and rewarded ourselves with bread and jam and cream!!!!
Stayed at Top Springs behind the pub. later that night a nt government prado came in on 3 tyres and a rim. They had driven 30km when their second spare blew.
17" tyres were non existent in top springs, so they had a long wait for help from Katherine
