2008 Trip

Hi Kim,
We are Alice Springs based and our first 4 days will be somewhere on the Finke race track.

We will then head N/W along the Tanami track for a short while (120klms), we then will be turning on to the Gary Junction Road which will take us through Papunya, Wallungurru, Kiwirrukurra and then on to Kunawarritji about well 33 on the CSR.

From there it will be Halls Creek, then Derby, along the "GIBB" River Road and finish up somewhere in the Katherine region, or we may even go back to Alice via Timber Creek, Top Springs and come back onto the Tanami Track around Rabbit Flat.

Thanks for taking the time to reply Kim I look forward to more input.

Regards
Padre

Hi Kim,
Thanks for the input, I thought 6 weeks would be enough, I hope so because I only get 6 weeks annual leave. I guess we can always get the skates on for the trip out to W.A we have probably seen country like that on a regular basis from living out here.

Thanks again Kim

Last time I was in Tunnel Creek I was leading a group of four women through the darkness... at the time there was a fair amount of water, and I was wading through ahead of them.

On one of the longer sections - say 15m or so, I was almost across the other side when they started following - first one of them scared one of the larger crays in there - rather long pointy nose, sharp teeth and eyes at the top of it's nose, as well as a rather rapidly moving tail.

It took flight in the stillness of the cave with a lot of splashing and noise, much to the sheet consternation and terror of the girls... I had to peel them off the roof, but was having trouble stopping the rolling on the floor laughing.
