180kg luggage |
It didn't stop once we reached Alice - we had to collect all that 200kg luggage again and get it packed into the rental car. And leave room for the four of us to get in as well!! It looked dubious for a while but we managed to get it done and after a quick stop in Alice for food we were on the way...

Next stop: Devil's Marbles. I last stopped there years ago and remember thinking how beautiful all the rocks are. The surrounding area just stretches out into nothing and then there are large heaps of rocks. Like they've just been dumped there. We spent a while just playing around on the rocks and enjoying the breeze that blew through them.

Having managed to stretch a 4 hour trip into well over 6.5 hours we finally arrived late into Tennant Creek....and unloaded all the luggage again.
Although we only had 14 people in our course this time it was a great group and one of the best courses I have taught at. Once again we got to play with the local firemen as well as decorate the local area with our Grey Ladies for Mass Disaster training.

We spent two nights in Tennant Creek and visited both the Memorial Club (great chips!) and the new local Chinese restaurant. We even managed to finish early on Day 2 and get an early start back on the road to Alice.
There will (hopefully at least) be a bit of a break in courses now but we still have a trip out to Maningrida later in the year....
