11 Oct - Travel to Alice Springs

Too hot to continue north to Kingfisher camp (44degrees is our limit), we travel south to seek some cool air.
 
This is the Riversleigh Dinosaur site No4 - The fossils are in the formation on the top of the hills
 
 
It's bare and hot, flat country
 
 
 
 
and you get these....
 
 
At Camooweal, there's a whole bunch of sinkholes (vertical caves) with lakes)
 
 
 
 
 
Lea's didn't want to drop down into them so we moved on... it's still really hot
 
 
Now into the Northern Territory, the Devil's Marble area
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This is the Ghan Railway/Highway crossing - North and South
 
 
Kind of flat and straight
 
 
The country along the way is magic
 
 
 
 
These interesting ant nest were only found in one area, where the ants have picked up the spinifex needles to line their holes....
 
 
and finally Alice!
