Middle of nowhere to alice Springs…

Up EARLY because of car troubles making a long morning drive neccessary. Had an egg and bacon sandwich from a dive called Stewart Wells. Fantastic! Something about camping makes unhealthy food soooooo good.

Our only real activity today was a visit to an old cattle station converted to an aboriginal homeland. If the people can prove ancestral ownership, the government gives the land back permanently.

However…it’s been kinda ruined by large mammals that never belonged there anyways. They’re making a go of it by giving cultural tours. It was neat. We heard about the land and the traditions, as much as was okay to tell. Lots of secrets but that’s their business. More super old cave paintings, always intriguing.

That’s the safari. I was pleased it went so well. I didn’t get sunburned or hurt myself, I slept a little every night, the dinners were superb. Our guide was a chef so we lucked out there. I also met the best folks from England. I feel we could really be friends for a long time. Just a great little family.

So far Australia has been great.

A nice last dinner with my new friends and a soft bed to look forward to.

Life’s good.
