We awoke excited this morning, as today was the day we were heading off on more adventures. We were all packed and headed off by 9am. The girls were eager to see the Devils Marbles, which was to be our destination for the day. Up the highway north of Alice we arrived at 'The Tropic of Capricorn'. Another huge monument to signify a photo for passing traveller. Tried to explain to Boo about the imaginary line across Australia and the two types of weather patterns ...

Very excited about today's exhibition. Have been hearing a lot of great things about this awesome place just out the road called Palm Valley. So after yet another pancake Sunday here at the caravan park, we packed our lunch and snacks and piled into the Nissan and headed off on our Sunday drive. We headed out on Larapinta Drive marveling at the West MacDonald Ranges on our left side. When l say we are going just out the road, l mean we are heading to Hermannsbu...
