Pancakes for Breaky was great. We strolled to the waterhole that was between two large cliffs, on a newly created path – what a top spot. We left approx. 10am with a stop at Simpson’s Gap. Karl briefing us on the last few days, headed to Alice Springs following the MacDonnell Ranges. Arriving at about 3pm for a much relieving shower break. Mick and Andrew went on a reconnaissance mission to check out a few local attractions. Dinner was good old performed his stuff to the delight of the audience while we sat around warm campfires – all round fantastic entertainment. Bob Magor gave us a few books that could be used as prizes during our trip.
On the way, we broke the trip with a stopover at Simpsons Gap, strolling in the silence of the beauty of another dry river bed carving through a mountainous rocky gorge. You could almost hear the gorge whisper its ancient wisdom and felt one with the rock wallabies standing guard in the place they call home. With more warm fuzzies jammed into our souls, we jumped back into the trucks, onward bound through the MacDonnell Ranges for Alice Springs. Welcoming a few days rest at the Alice, the first night was enjoyed around the campfires with the delights of recital from a bush poet, Bob Magor. The poetry on camping and travelling were hilarious as we relate with giggles the same experiences of how much fun and liberating camping truly is. We were thankful in receiving donated copies of his books to use on our awards night at the end of our trip, thank you Bob!
