We are on the road.

Well we are in the Alice and pull up here for the night, decided Aures rock looks like a good spot to see in 2014.

Some places that are worth stopping if doing Darwin to Alice
Aileron stayed last night top spot
Renner Springs, neat and tidy and great steak sandwich.
Dunmurra neat and tidy and great breakfast, plus he will negotiate his fuel price if you ask.

Of the more strange things we seen we past one of those smart cars about half way between Alice and Tennant creek. They looked pretty cramped to.
Also they need to teach people from SA to drive with their lights on .

Other than that enjoying a nice cold one in beautiful downtown Alice springs.

Cheers Ean & Louise

I wish I was home I'd call in and have a beer with you! :BigThumb: I'll be heading home (from Adelaide) on the 2nd so if you see a white Defender coming the other way it will probably be me! :D

Not sure if you were hoping to climb the rock but given the high temperatures I'd say the climb will be closed ... still, the rock itself is quite spectacular. I recommend doing the 'sounds of silence' sunset/dinner/star show thing while you're there. It's a bit pricey but worth it IMO and the tucker is sensational to boot :BigThumb:

Thanks Cobber

If its on we are up for it, keep us posted as we are headed south so may be able to stop along the road and say g'day .

Plan is leave the rock maybe mid morn on the 1st after seeing the sunrise at the rock the maybe stop at marla if we get that far. Then track south each day from there.

Cheers Ean

I'll pull up at Glendambo on the afternoon of the 2nd for the night so it's not unlikely that we'll run into one another :BigThumb:

Just watching the sunset on Uluru.... SPECTACULAR ..

Cheers Ean & Louise

G'day All,

Well after a great time at the rock welcoming in the new year we are headed south so hopefully be in the cooler parts of SA tonight after a couple of days of 45 out in the red centre.

Cheers Ean & Louise

Hi Ean,

If you make it down to Adelaide and you want a place to park up for a day or two give us a shout. We're up in the Adelaide Hills & have plenty of space & shade & water.

Cheers

Coober will hit 45°c
Roxby area about the same...

I should have looked at this thread earlier, as we could have had a beer to see the New Year in. I was at the Outback Hotel until just after midnight.

Enjoy the rest of your trip.

Thanks for the kind offer, not sure what or where we are going yet but will be sure to look you up if we do.

On another note haven't passed 1 Landrover whilst on the road. Seen a few in Alice but that's it since Katherine.

Oh well we are happily to fly the L/R flag. It's a tough job but someone has to do it.

Cheers Ean & Louise
