After Mount Isa, we kept going west toward the Northern Territory. We didn’t quite make it to Tennant Creek in one day, so we did some free camping at a rest area on the highway. Other than the fact it was a bit cold, it was great fun. We made a campfire and roasted marshmallows. The next day we drove straight to Alice Springs, and that’s where I’ve been the last few days. We’ve been having a bit of a look around, but today we did something better than that. Dad checked in with the Aeroclub at Alice Springs, and Dad took us up in a little four seater aeroplane. We got to have a little look around the Red Centre. He even gave me the wheel. It’s a lot harder to fly an aeorplane that’s bumping around on thermals than it is to ride a motorbike that’s bumping around on rocks. There wasn’t much else we did today.
