Into “Ellery’s Big Hole” - driving in past a creek bed full of ghost gums ends at a lovely campground and the first thing we heard when we opened the Ute doors was “hey Stan!”
Nick from Cradlehuts came over for a yarn - he was on tour with a group and we followed him into the gorge to a stunning view.
The morning light presented a scenic waterhole bathed in a golden glow with abundant birdlife and ghostgums - very photogenic ...
From here we drove to Standley Chasm and saw Callum doing the winter guiding stint here. The golden glow in the chasm was perfect - there’s a 90 minute window to experience it each day and we were bang on time. A lovely short walk then.
Into Alice Springs to re-supply .... and straight out. The Stuart Highway north is a flat and boring section. Red dirt either side of the road with low bushes and a fair few termite mounds of varying sizes .. 100kms to go to our stop for tonight at Aileron, a roadhouse with a good write-up!
