1 month 6 days

L a pair does not have the feeling of waking up, it looks like the mosquito noise at her last night and slept in, no way, those small animals is like her.

A little past seven, we have already taken care of everything, ran out Reception with free breakfast.

Original free breakfast is two pieces of bread, Oh ~! on the opposite of a computer with Internet access kitchen a bowl of oatmeal and alleys, walking out of the House of coffee chair seat, a cat cat is the Sun.

The old strong drive around, it is not all yet waking, almost forgot to the supermarket to buy food.

My shoes Burns spoke, in K-mart bought a pair of walking shoes and simple. After you have bought something out of Alice, Alice is a small place, but the supermarket is still very large.

Today's tour is visiting Alice East area, or is called East MacDonnells, East McDonald mountains.

First going to Emily and Jessie Gap two indigenous origin story, then from the side of the line passes through the Gorge, the last arrived N'Dhala Trephina Gorge.

==============================================================

Alice Springs < 120km via N'Dhala Trephina Gorge Nature Park > Gorge Nature Park

==============================================================

Travel the road is not far away, so you can extra look at the scenery, weather permitting.

It will be, at the arrival of the first attractions Emily Gap.

Excellent place, not because the scenery, but do not have to go a long way to close to the scenic spot, Vista really are dry, water in General.

Further to the West did not open a few minutes, you reach the Jessie Gap.

L train will start to sleep so that return two attractions did not let her play.

After Jessie Gap, we have no open into Ross Hwy, but entered the South Binns Track, began to feel the joy of four-wheel drive.

Binns Track roads open, some places have to Mercedes-Benz, 80 km/h is the name of the four-wheel drive road.

All the way through to N'Dhala Gorge.

The weather, the weather while hot, but was full of white clouds. This let us decide to go into the Valley look LP says there are many indigenous designs, there will be a great big lizards. Our four-person parked the car, and began to walk inside. More than ten minutes away, did not find very magnificent scenery, but saw a hole holes at the top of some of the animals of the nest, the wreckage of the underground some animals, may be a lizard molt or snake skin. Next to the cave is a body of water, black, from afar, a Brook flow into the pool, we did not go on.

N'Dhala Gorge, go out from my years of driving, the four-wheel drive road situation is a bit different, returns after Binns Track, the bituminous North Road, slowly showing a Jurassic Park's scene.

Wide gravel road, enough has four lanes of traffic, both sides are high, old open crack of eucalyptus. Eucalyptus is not tight, see day stands in one-metre-high grass, obscuring most distant, the red iron Valley. Occasionally the tree down, the pressure on the road, cars only from the side of the meadow to bypass. Unfortunately did not leave a photo.

From South to North from the main road, Trephina Nature Park.

At noon, we go to visit John Hayes Rockhole, this four-drive road is very short, it is not particularly difficult to leave. To the Rockhole campsite, we began to do our mustard Sandwich.

Lunch, L uncomfortable, not up with us to stay in the car and rest.

I, the rain and the old strong trio began to start. The original plan was to go Chain of Ponds Walk this 1.5 hour dash, because my offer, we decided to go to the Lookout and then returns the Turners. Here is part of the Ridgetop Trail, the whole 6.5 hours through Trephina Gorge camping ground. This decision does not have enough water for their very hard. HA, HA, HA. We look at the top to the mountain valleys, to go down the mountain, passing through the riverbed, S-type up the Hill, after several slopes, saw the highest of the place, until you come to 3 o'clock before reaching the Turners Lookout. Sure enough, expectations, here is the tallest of the surrounding mountain, a distance you can see the whole earth, earth rampart of hills, a thick cloud, from time to time, have the feeling of rain, from afar, the preceding sky small hills covered with a thick cloud, rain, driving down.

At the top of the hill over 20 minutes, the Visitor Book signed by a name, then go back.

Half past four down to the place. Back without John Hayes Rockhole, because everyone is too thirsty. Haha hahahaha.

Back to the bus and see the L a spiritual good, like a new man, it is

Sleeps full nor happy. We complement the water, eat some oranges. Surrounding 4WD more, it seems we are early.

Next, we start to the evening live Trephina Gorge camping ground.

After arrival, they prepare food. Alas, every time you cook I is not active. I find that camping without a shower place, only one in the upper half-metre-high water taps, impatience. I started looking for like Palm Valley of stream, or standing water, shower, clean up sticky skin.

Exactly at this point a 4WD come and say hello, I asked what they learned in the not too distant place there was a body of water, I ran out of the past, it really does not have 10 minutes to see the body of water, is a valley bottom water of a waterhole, or.

Looking around on, has been in the evening, a person is not, I'll take off his clothes and a foot foot stepping into a body of water, the body of the Khan is a clean, really should be the sentence dialect: tramp iron shoes not find Department, all without any effort.

Put the clothes in half a foot deep, on a foot in the sand, go back.

It seems that I have been away for half an hour, they just finished dinner, clean up, I came back to see the sweet-smelling Kangaroo meat, it is just straight mouth water, despite the fact that pesky flies non-stop on the food.

After dinner, I immediately took them past the pool, the old strong and I go very fast, arrived that day clouds, wind blew up.

The old strong jumped into the pool, I also took a back down the back, found that water is getting dressed up, leaves and MOSS are floating up, it is windy. See the sky that thick dark clouds, storm to come.

Two girls saw the dark green of the pond, no desire to come down, we got back together with water, to catch the wind, halfway yujia.

We rushed back to camp, check and secure two tents. After I, L and rain come back to the car to hide a rain. Looking out the window of the day getting darker, the Valley of the Sun, the wind was intoxicating.

Night, L and light rain in the things that used to wash washing white faucet side ~ ~

And I, then try the new odorless, relying on solar thermal decomposition of toilet automatically.

It is not bad, just a bit strange, squatting in the above two metres below the fear of many high-something drill up = =

Tonight, we put the tent hit shelves, more heavy rain are not afraid.

At least tent fly, we also can hide in the car, the car won't fly.

Rain in the evening, the rain stopped, the Valley is very cool ~ ~ ~
