Well Sami Sahara was happy we took her off the black bitumen & on to a dirt road out to the Painted Desert. The road was reasonable having been graded only 2 weeks before so only small sections of corrugations.
Our stay at Cadney Homestead was good with good staff & Browney checked out the showers to find one to suit. That is trouble with being a short “A”. So we stayed 3 days to use as a base.
Now about the Painted Desert, it was great: the colours , the cliffs, & the gullies just combined for a great experience.
The pictures don’t do it justice but we would recommend it as a side trip from the Oodnadatta track.
Standing alone in the middle of a gibber plain is a lonely grave the burial place of the son of an early settler. A poignant reminder of an early lifetime.
We are now in Alice Springs & the weather is great, hot days but nights are cold, we have had to get a new heater as old one started arcing.
We will be doing the tourist thing this weekend although having been here before we have done most of the main attractions. We may just relax for a couple of days :}}}}
