We have had a few problems with the Scout and the mechanic was not at all helpful so Col replaced the gear box at the caravan park.
Bye Katherine! The intersection of the Bypass and the Stuart Highway on our way out of town. We were there for 5 weeks and 1 day in all.
We cruised quickly through Mataranka and Larrimah this time and on to the oldest Pub in the Northern Territory at Daly Waters.
Inside the pub is an interior decorators delight. You stop here just to say “I had a beer at Daly Waters” and a barra burger.
On to the Devils Marbles Conservation Reserve – finely balanced piles of huge boulders – near Tennant Creek.
Everywhere you go there is bound to be an International truck. These relics are being admired by a tourist riding a bicycle outside the Wauchope Hotel.
The Overland Telegraph Station at Barrow Creek is a well kept example from pioneering days.
There are small settlements (pubs and roadhouses) all along the Stuart Highway and between these are miles and miles of ‘nothing’
Just north of Alice Springs, the Tropic of Capricorn is located.
And a little further South is a monument depicting the highest point on the highway connecting Adelaide in the South and Darwin in the North
And at last – Alice Springs.
