Tuesday...
Got an early start this morning and headed off towards the sunshine state. We got to our overnight resting spot on a creek bank on the side of the old Mary K road at around 1700. The Mary K road turns off the Barkly Highway about 50 km east of the Isa.
Tomorrow, we head off the beaten track to Lawn Hill National Park for a few days.

Sunday...Another cold wake up call this morning at minus 0.2 degrees. Today, we split up and did a few different things. I took the drive to Standley Chasm to catch a midday photographic session. This place is privately owned and operated and they charge a $10 fee to see the chasm. It's a simple 1.2 km walk along the creek bed to get to it.As you'll see in the photos, the sun on the western face reflects on to the eastern face creating a red glow. Looks pretty spectacular.In the afternoon, Judy, Barb and I went to check out the Desert Park which is a nature park exhibiting the different habitats in Central Australia and all the flora and fauna within. Worth a look if you're ever in the Alice.Les went to check out the Transport Hall of Fame. He enjoyed that and brought back many 'million dollar' photos. You ask him.Tomorrow, we start heading for home.
