20 July, Tuesday. We are in Daly Waters, NT, and it is quite a place. Unfortunately the broadband strength is too weak for me to post any pictures. Will keep trying, as have quite a backlog, including a few from Katherine Gorge, Darwin, and Mataranka Homestead, and this place which has a special crossing for chooks (chickens).
Tonight we signed up for a "barbie" - 1/2 beef and 1/2 barramunda. Barramunda is a fish caught up here that everyone raves about. I thought the raving was more or less just hype, until I took my first bite. Best fish I ever ate. Can't hardly get enough!
The ride today was short, to give the crew a chance to get ready for the upcoming slog - one more day south to Tennant Creek, and then three days heading to the Pacific coast at Townsville. We decided to post-pone the trip to Uluru (Ayer's Rock) and pick it up from the southern approach when we head back west on the bottom of the continent. We have been spoiled by the beautiful, warm weather, and gorgeous blue skies. 75-80 while on the road today - 32-40 at Uluru. That will also give us a chance to visit Coober Pedy, in the state of South Australia, the underground city in the central opal mining region. I have always looked for an excuse to do so....
