Today we start a new chapter , no van under repair, we have a new van. The other one developed major problems so was replaced.
Spent 5 days in Alice Springs and now on the road again and heading north, first stop at Gemtreeto do some fossicking only to find that we could not get out to the sites because you need a vehicle that is able to go on rough gravel roads which we can not do. So got a couple of buckets of dirt from the sites to sift and wash. Got several good pieces of garnet so was quite pleased. Spent the night there
Had a great time around the fire with a group of people who were also staying there.
In the morning was off again this time Aileron, Ti Tree road house, and barrow Creek before stopping at Wycliffe Well for the night. The temperature at four o'clock was 38.1 C ,slightly warm. No free camping today could not find a site that was shady.
