Well it was lovely after we managed to disentangle the caravan from a fence that came too close!
It's a lovely peaceful spot and we had a great view of the red cliffs we have come to know and love.
The gorge is different, with a wide sandy bottom and not a drop of water in sight.
We spent another day exploring the ruins of Arltunga, the earliest settlement in central Australia, apparently.
It was once a thriving gold town.
Well, you know I love a good ruin or two.
Plus there was the excitement of climbing down into a mine and scrambling about in another one that had resident bats.
We tested our 4WDing skills with a drive to N'dhala gorge with it's petroglyphs (rock carvings)
and to John Hayes rockhole.
With a stop at Ross River resort in between.
Another homestead "resort" but the old building had a bit of charm......and a resident hound!
Emily Gap which is only 16kms from Alice Springs has caterpillar dreaming rock art. -
Jessie Gorge is just a couple of kms further down the road.
Trephina Gorge -
