Entry 14 Sandover/Alice spring

We arrived at Commoweal. It was a small town with three hundred people in it. We camped down by a billabong. It was really muddy and our tarps got really skanky. There were lots of brolgas everywhere. The next day we set of down the bumpy dirt road (the Sandover Hwy) and only passed three cars. There were no camping sites so we bush camped. It was really scrubby. We lit a fire and chucked heaps of dead grass on it. We packed up the next morning and went down the road to Alice Springs filling up the diesel tank at Alparra for $2 a litre (the most expensive fuel so far).

In Alice Springs, we stayed at a caravan park where you can feed the black footed rock wallabies. They had a Tavern and we went there for dinner. There was a reptile man who let you hold pythons and lizards. It was freezing the next morning when we were packing up the trailer. I almost died. But we got away alive and drove through the west MacDonnell ranges, and camped in at Ellery water hole. It was ccccold that night. I almost died again. We had a BBQ for dinner and went to bed.

Hi jazz. Looks like you are having fun. Thanks for the postcard it was good to hear from you. My birthday was fun. We went to the footy which was good, the Cats won by 3 points. We did lots of fun stuff at the warehouse. I got for my Birthday an Ipod touch, heaps of money and lollies. The people who came to my birthday were Damon, Jack, Will, James, Will Steele and his cousin Luke. Damon spewed up! It is very cold in Kilmore too. I am looking foward to when you come to Kilmore.
