Tennant Creek

Wednesday, July 2 :

We headed towards Tennant Creek where we planned to spend a couple of days. However, we had a couple of interesting stops along the way.

The Camp 7 book noted that Wycliffe Wells had a UFO Centre so we had to stop as it was in the middle of nowhere. We had lunch and chatted to a couple who pulled up behind us who were from Montrose.  This place had everything about UFOs and more and was a great little attraction. Also part of the place is a Big4 Caravan Park and was offering great deals.

Next stop was the Devil’s Marbles which is amazing as it looks like someone has cut the stone  in half with a precision saw. The rocks were huge and the story of them both geologically and in Dreamtime make interesting reading.

Wal at the Devil's Marbles.

Thursday, July 3 to Friday, July 4

The caravan park on the highway was great. New people had taken over and for $25 a night it was good value. We fueled up and I spent time doing the washing etc. It was really a few days to chill out rather than sight-seeing as there was little to see. We did need some more wine but casks are only available. There was only one brand of bottled wine and it was in plastic bottles. Again police officers stood outside while the bottle shop was open. A sad sight.
