Day 43 Alice Springs to Taylors Creek


Today we travelled from Alice Springs 342km north to a free park at Taylors Creek.  We have concluded our visit to the Red Centre and are now heading to Tennant Creek, Katherine, Kakadu and all points north.  We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Red Centre, but have to admit, at times, it was hard work. It was Red Centre by name and by nature and even tonight we have red dirt at our doorstep.  There is not a lot to see on the road north from Alice Springs, only a couple of monuments, which we dutifully photographed.  It was heavily overcast all day and we got 25,207 small rain spots on our windscreen during the day. They didn’t even join together. Even now it remains overcast but with no rain.
