Dare to be you
In the Outback counts the name Birdsville for two… It is a really must do, so the next part of my trip I intend to visit the entire part around the small city. The Simpson Desert at the east, named as one of the biggest 4WD experiences in the country, the lakes of Innamincka to the south and the Channel Country up in the north. A promising part…
After weeks repairing the car and being struck in Alice, it feels great to be mobile again! I want to drive along some dirt roads to the famous Devils Marbles near Tennant Creek. This alternative route opened some 4 years ago and is called the Binns Track. The entire Binns is much longer, but I take just that part.
The beginning of the track starts in the East MacDonnels Ranges.
In Alice we need to refill our supplies and we have to buy some stuff before leaving the city. Both of us really like this spot, the people here are very friendly and helpful. This city has an unbelievable environment that surrounds it. We taste it a couple of times during all our shopping… All these days in town we don’t find a gap to do some sightseeing. The only thing we pay a visit, is the Anzac Hill, with a superb town view.
Living at the other side of the equator has some strange facts to discover…
Here the sun never shines in the south.
But at a compass the north and south stay the same.
The more north we travel, the warmer it gets.
The more south, the colder.
Yesterday we discovered that our right back wheel had only two loose bolts left… So it almost falls of! But here we are, in the middle of the desert some 50 km’s from the next civilisation, hardly any passenger and no means of communication. What can we do? Wait a day in the shade of a tree with temperatures around 45° and hope someone passes? Or keep driving and hope we can reach the cattle station to ask some help.
