Alice to Tenant Creek

After such a poor night's sleep in Alice Springs last night it's a relatively short drive up to our next stop at Tenant Creek, and mercifully uneventful as well.

About 90km south of Tenant Creek we pass through the area known as the Devil's Marbles.

It's too hot for the camper van again so we decide upon an air-conditioned cabin in the Tenant Creek campsite. After settling a bit we pop over to the camps bar for a quiet drink where we meet Ron and Sandra.

Ron and Sandra fall into the grey nomad category, retired, kids grown up and then they bought a caravan and have been travelling round Australia for the past 3 years. Which kind of makes our trip seem a bit puny. We share a couple of cold ones and chew the fat for an hour or so, content with the knowledge that it's not all nutters up here.
