travels in the outback continuing
Arrived in Alice Springs yesterday afternoon. Having trouble with our van which was shaking to bits at 90 k. Turned out two front tyres hopelessly out of alignment and wearing badly down to canvas on inside.!! Had to get new tyres fitted and now purrs along at 100k,s!!
After we left the outskirts of Adelaide have crossed 100,s of creeks and rivers and have yet to see any running water--- after 2700k,s!!
Also, in the Outback, diesel is very expensive-- started at $1-45 Adelaide to $2-17 in dearest place.
Have been impressed at the resilience of the farmers around here. Looks to be only low scrub and not much else but any stock we have seen look OK.
Alice is a very spread city- 29000- with lovely wide streets and traffic very well behaved and easy to navigate-- big help from Tom Tom with that!!
Nights are still pretty cold here so "happy hours" still pretty short! Hopefully, warmer as we head north.
Regards,
D and J
PS. Watched AB test in Club very similar to Papanui, and a good win.
