Just back fom 9 days in the centre. Minus 3 yesterday morning in Alice. Made me feel homesick (minus 4 here today). Flying from Alice to Syd yesterday afternoon with the help of the GPS I could make out the Colson Track, French Line and then
Cameron Corner very clearly. I really wanted to be down there and driving.
Very cold at Uluru (13) and too windy to climb
the Rock.
Trip took in East Macs. Had a look at
John Hayes
Rock hole but with several tents/vans already there it might
well have been
John Hayes freckle.
The spot we found was at a gravel scrape on the left just past the
Trephina Gorge turnoff.
We then headed up the Sandover to Utopia, and camped on a station between the Sandover and the Plenty. Then out to
Yuendumu. South on the road to Nyrrippi, then turning toward Mt Wedge and
Papunya. Then to Haasts
Bluff,
Glen Helen, Kings Canyon and
the Rock. All familiar territory but leading a group of novices (and art collectors) who were suitably impressed.
The car is boarding the truck in Alice this morning and should be
home in ten days. Time to start planning the next trip :-)
