New State, New Time Zone

Yes people, Australia is soooo big, it really has more time zones, we are heading to the Northern Territory and its half an hour earlier there.

I'm gonna show you the map of Australia on which you can see how much we have travelled since we have started. Now we are in Darwin but I'm not that far with my stories yet, but......... I'm getting close.

Look at the orange line, that's our route

I'm now going to describe the trip from Mount Isa to Tennant Creek and from there to Daly Waters.

The road from Mount Isa to Tennant Creek is approx. 640 k's with only one or two road houses in between.

Somewhere in the middle you can see Soudan, that's the free camp we stopped for a night and had the most beautiful sunset.

At first we were a bit squared to stay because there was only one other car but we were early and thought more people would call in and that happened, we ended up with about 10 caravans, tents, campers etc. so it was safe.

we had a nice spot next to a few trees

enjoy my film;

beautiful sunset

We can ad a country to the lookalike list: America! The road from Tennant Creek towards Darwin sometimes look if you drive in America!

AND THEN.............Daly Waters!!

Guys, this is a little town with the famous, true Aussie Pub;

We have been here twice before and always had a good time......

We stayed behind the pub were there is a caravan park with powered and non-powered sites.

It was a bit (actually a lot) dusty, but you know; that's the outback...

The Pub inside;

Of course Dutchies were here 

Outside in the beer garden;

There was great entertainment and you can eat terrific food. The other times we had dinner there but not this time, we had our own Chilli Con Carne cooked.

After dinner we went back to hear more of this great singer and I made a few films from him. After he had finished I even asked him if I may announce him in my blog and show one of the films and he agreed.

I was very, very disappointed when I found out later that I most probably, had pushed a wrong button during fiddling with my camera in the dark, and all my films had failed.

Still, I cannot withhold you with this last song he sang and even while you cannot see him properly, you can still hear him,

enjoy this fair dinkum Aussie song;

Cheers!
