Well after putting in some mammoth hours at the hospital working over the last few weeks we decided to head out for the day and have some sight seeing. We packed a picnic lunch and headed out the East MacDonald Ranges. Just out on the Ross Highway, not far at all, we arrived at our first stop, Emily Gap. Emily Gap is the first of many sacred aboriginal sites along the East MacDonald Ranges and form the start of the 'caterpillar' which is part of the dreamtime sto...

We both heard Marty waking so we headed back to the van to wi...

Had the best night sleep at the Kulgera Campgrounds, still woke latish and lazily packed up, finally starting the Finke Road at 10am. Marty got told that the road conditions were alright, so with reassurance in our heads we headed off. Oh how l've missed the red colored dirt of Australia. The Finke Road is full of it and it looks stunning!! We decided to do this road for something new and because we had been up the Stuart highway before and knew it wouldn't be t...
