THIRTYFIRST DAY – SUNDAY 8TH AUGUST
You know those geese I mentioned, well, can they make a noise, even during the night! Slept in a bit and had a farmers breakfast and left at 9.45 am. At Tennant Creek we fuelled up and checked out the ‘lookout’ which overlooked the town and thats about it. On our way out of TC we noticed a couple of beer trees – they were actually trees with twirling beer cans all over them – looked very effective when the sun shone on them. Along the way there were lots of flowering bushes and ground covers and we stopped to have a good look at them. I love this type of bush/scrub. There are so many different types of grasses and flowering natives and lots of little birds. At some point along the way there were bigger trees – I especially like the ghost gums. We arrived at ‘Devils Marbles’ around 2.30 pm were we are camped for the night. It cost us a whole $6.60 to camp. We chose a spot and set up camp. Then we went for a bit of a walk around the Marbles. It was pretty hot and we walked around for about 30 mins then went back to ‘The Snail.’ We chilled out for awhile then went out for a longer walk about 5pm when we walked all over the area checking out the different rock outcrops. The Marbles are an amazing set of big round boulders sitting on top of each other. They were also fun to climb around. We stayed out until the sun set as the rocks began to glow red when the sun goes down. Most of the other campers were sitting/standing on top of the rocks watching the sunset. We then made our way back to the van and cooked dinner.
