Sat 28th - We stayed the night at Stuart Caravan Park in Alice Springs. $32 powered a night. We asked for a concrete slab this time, it was so nice to not have dust or dried bits of grass at our door for a change. It's a bit older park, sites are small, smaller than … Continue reading Gap, Chasm and Waterhole
Jessie and Emily Gaps
Friday 27th - We packed up ready for our next places to see and be. First stop was Jessie Gap where we had morning tea. The wind had a real ice to it.

Arltunga Historical Reserve
We came back to camp, had morning tea and packed our lunch to head off to Arltunga Historical Reserve for the day. The Arltunga Historical Reserve is really interesting and played an important part in helping getting Alice Springs established, to find out why take a visit out there yourself, 110kms east of Alice. First … Continue reading Arltunga Historical Reserve
Trephina Gorge – Day 3
Thurs 26th - The wind was howling last night, really strange when it was so mild when we went to bed, we didn't even need the heater on. After breaky we did the 45 min rim walk.

Alice Springs
Sat 21st to 23rd - We were up at dawn to take some photos of the pillar, it was freezing cold. We packed up and then headed into Alice.

Chambers Pillar
Friday 20th - Wow in the light of day when we could see where we camped we have an amazing view right from our campsite. Chambers Pillar in one direction and Castle Rock in the other. The campsite here is well set out with bollards defining the sites. Big sites with space between each site. … Continue reading Chambers Pillar
Mt Dare, Finke & Chambers Pillar
Thursday 19th - We heard dingoes howling several times through the night. Well it was a hard decision but we decided to keep moving, so many wonderful things still to see and experience. Our neighbours wanted a show and tell on the camper and wanted to see how quick it all packed up, we are … Continue reading Mt Dare, Finke & Chambers Pillar
