May 9th

Just us and a few cows for company back at the waterhole for the night…

It had been another warm day, so a nice clear sunset to finish the day.

We had a slow start to the day as we headed towards the South Australia/ Northern Territory Border. Not a lot to see ,just a few hills in the distance. We are surprised at the lack of wildlife through these areas, only saw a couple of Dingos. But not quick enough to get a pic.

We had a cuppa at Marryat Creek , no water, just millions of flies .


Not far over the border is Kulgera, The Roadhouse has most supplies as well as Telstra service. We spent a bit of time there before going out to a bush camp for the night.


Again the flies were relentless, so our fly nets, have become a necessity.



Today we travelled on to Curtin Springs. As we got close the view of Mt Connor was quite nice , it appears to have a purple colour to it,



Curtain Springs has a free camp as well as a Roadhouse where I paid $6,50 for a Lt of long life milk! The grounds surrounding the park are well kept and green. We have phone service, but it’s a bit hit and miss.


As I wandered around, I saw that the tables were set for the coach arrival. Annie and Guy also arrived this afternoon after their visit to the geographical centre. So we will move on from here together again.

Out the back of the park here, is a bird Avery, so I stopped for a chat and took some pics, I’d rather see them in the wild, however these seem happy enough.







Like I said service is a bit dodgy out here . But Chris managers to find a bar or two ,ha ha. Tomorrow we go into Uluru for 4 days so I’m off here till after that. Looking forward to getting my Segway licence.
