Tue 26 Jul 2011 Alice Springs to Tennant Creek

0815 (5517 km) Phone call to say that our camper trailer was ready to be picked up in half an hour. Hurray!
0920 (5517 km) Quick last minute grocery shopping.
0950 (5525 km) Filled up.
1020 (5526 km) Pick up camper trailer. Like new.
1030 (5534 km) Pack up - loads to pack as we had unloaded everything from the trailer when we sent it for repairs.
1200 (5534 km) Left Alice Springs. Crossed the Tropic of Capricorn, latitude of 22.5 degrees South. This is the line where the sun is directly overhead in the Australian Summer Solstice.
1315 (5620 km) Noticed camper trailer white light cover was missing. Not going back to look for it. Took some photos at Aileron with the giant man with spear and giant woman and child.

At Devil's Marbles - how strong are we?

1700 (5951 km) Devil's Marbles. It really does look like someone huge has been playing huge marbles and just left them around. There is a nice little walk around a bunch of marbles. There was a very interesting 'marble' that had split in half. Two hemispheres. Naturally we all went between the hemispheres for photos. There were also frogs buried in the creek bed, we didn't see any. Some of the marbles seem to be balanced precariously. It looks as if all you need is a little push from a little finger and it would roll down.
1830 (6058 km) Tennant Creek. Site 27. Had dinner of leftover Shepard's Pie, sausages, puff pastry and tandoori chicken.
