Wednesday 7th May.
We are now getting quite close, relatively speaking to our destination of Alice Springs, only about
360km to go. We have actually got ahead of our planned schedule so have decided that on arrival in Alice Springs we will go out to the west McDonnell Ranges to visit and possibly stay overnight at one of the gorges. Consequently we visited the closest one to The Alice which is Standley Chasm.
No overnight camping permitted so we settled for a roadside rest area about 18km west.
Upon arrival in the Alice area we sent an email to the volunteers co-ordination for the AGM to see if we could offer any additional pre week volunteer service. By doing this we are permitted to enter the AGM site early. So, Gail and I are permitted to setup onsite tomorrow in return for a few extra hours of volunteer work. We had already been fostered for a couple of 4 hour shifts during the actual week of the event so this move was a very clever one on our part we thought.
A big day of travel today after our excursion to Standley Chasm. 445 km in all.
