We crossed a very swollen Finke Rv and arrived in Alice Springs early afternoon. As with Coober Pedy there is a bit of a culture shock when arriving in a central Australian town. However unlike Coober Pedy, I think I could really enjoy living in the Alice. For Julia and I it seems to contain the lifestyle and characters that we experienced in PNG over 10 years ago when living in Lae.
Leaving the Olgas behind we found a redder looking rock to view on our way back through and then headed for Erldunda and the Stuart Highway again. Once heading North we detoured to the Hendbury Meteorite craters, 4,000 year old craters formed by a meteorite (as the name suggests) that broke up on entering the Earth's atmosphere. Whilst the meteorite broke into bits no larger than a 44 gallon drum, at 40,oookm / hr they made a fair impact and it was worth the 30km detour to see them.

It sounds like you are all having a great time. It's sad to think i have to go back to work shortly and you will still be touring.

As I sit here in DLS scanning yet another batch of documents whilst immersing myself in your blog I am reminded that there are others more fortunate than I!
