LEAVING BENDIGO FOR THE 4 DAY DRIVE TO BALGO VIA BURRA, COOBER PEDY AND ALICE SPRINGS. We were packed to the rafters. It's amazing how much we needed to pack for Rusty! Driving out of Mildura we were met by a dust storm. The car got a taste of red dirt earlier than expected! Rusty had a great seat in the back. High enough to have a good view out of the window. However, he slept almost all the time, crowded in by many boxes which threatened to fall. We stopped at the Kulgera Roadhouse. It was the stop before Alice Springs. Time for lunch and a walk for Rusty. This is a shoe tree!!! We were pleasantly surprised that the first 300 odd kilometres of the Tanami Track was bitumen. Of course the next 550 to the Balgo turnoff isn't!! There had been rain in the last few weeks so we were hoping that the road was not closed. We met some water and some damp bits but apart from that, the road was good. Here we are
I lived in Darwin for 8 years in the early 2000's. I always took guests on the Adelaide River jumping croc trip, it's amazing!!
