To-day we had a full day tour with Simpson Desert veteran Leigh.
We visited rock carvings, a fig and date plantation, Chambers Pillar and Rainbow Valley.
Our guide was a passionate bushman who has permission to take private back roads through this magnificent area.
Our travelling companions included a couple visiting the families of their son and daughter who are working, teaching in indigenous communities - one in Alice and the other in the Tiwi Islands.
The tour was brilliant - the scenery magnificent.
It certainly doesnt look too rainy way out there. You may have missed the worst of it which is good. The tour sounds very interesting.
ReplyDeleteNews from home - abbey was supposed to go in the cross country on wed but due to weather it was postponed. I bribed her and said if she got a place i would giver her $5. Anyway they have changed it to friday and only for people who nominate themselves as wanting to participate. She was one of only 3 in her class to put her name down. Her new BFF(best female friend) Lily also put her name in. It seems that they are both participators and enjoy the same things so finally we have a special friend for Abbey - yay
Ben is driving us crazy with how what and why questions about anything and everything. He is a supersoaker of info....HE NEEDS SCHOOL!!
