Back on the road Darwin Bound 22/09/2010

What a busy time we had in Sydney and  Melbourne but it was so nice to catch up with everyone  and  to come away with a new Grandson and my Australian citizenship (after 29 years ) .
 We left Alice Springs saying good by to Daniel Theresa and  the kids who had made us so welcome, around 9 am and  headed for Tennant  Creek. The weather was great, unlike when we arrived, and we made short work of the 550 km arriving early afternoon.
 Highlights of this trip were:






This ultra lite Plane landing for fuel at the Ti Tree Road house  (200 km north of Alice). He had come from Kununura near Darwin and was flying all the way to Wollongong (Sydney). Amazing and only 60 km from where we are Building in Razor Back.

We are enjoyed our stay in Tennant Creek but it is very sad to see the indigenous people with little hope as throwing money at them is not the answer. We met some nice people and joined them for a Church service, first in the morning for their multi cultural service and secondly for their Indigenous service at night .This was very interesting experience with some talented Aboriginals playing in the band and a very exited minister trying to get some of them off the booze.

 In the morning (Monday the 27th) we head for Mataranka hot springs and the heat is around 38 from now on with nights close to 30 and with ML having her hot flushes beside me, it should be very interesting.
