Kimberley Trip

[TPC]

Days 41 to 44. Alice Springs, Coober Pedy and Home.

After escaping winter for almost 6 weeks it was time to head back towards home and the cold.
Had a look at Devils Marbles on the way through to Alice, we were staying 3 nights at Alice and decided to stay in a cabin as we were sick of setting up the camper, the next morning we were glad we did as it got down to 0 deg, I was so tempted to turn around and head back north where it is warm.
While in Alice we visited the Desert Park and watched the flying bird presentation, this was quiet impressive. I also visited the school of the air for a tour and the girls got in some retail therapy in the mall.
The next day we headed up the Ross Hwy and had a look at Emily and Jessie Gaps, Corroboree Rock and took a rough track to a water hole I have forgotten the name of, this would have been far more impressive if the creek was flowing.
Next stop was Coober Pedy and we again decided to be lazy and not set up the camper and booked into the Desert View underground apartments, they are a bit dated and could do with a bit of maintenance but they were comfortable and very spacious and good value and I would use them again. We were just doing an overnighter here and head off early the next morning to drive the 880 km home, I have done this drive from Coober Pedy many times but am starting to find the distance is pushing my limits for one day, probably should have taken the Oodnadatta Track and split it into 2 or 3 days.

A few photos from Alice and along the way.
