Traveling southward, the expedition encountered several interesting low escarpments. All in the party were greatly excited to see actual geographical terrain after the many kilometres completely devoid of topography that were trod prior to these wonderful low hills.
Low mountains on the horizon of an incredibly straight road.
The Ghan Train to Darwin.
Wycliffe Well is known as the UFO capital of Australia. Little green men greeted us in the roadhouse parking lot.
Several adventure touring bikes pulled up outside of the campground facilities.
The interior of the roadhouse is plastered with papers and news clippings detailing UFO encounters at Wycliffe Well. The expedition wisely chose to move further south toward Alice rather than dally around such interesting bush folk.
Devils Marbles is an odd collection of rock near a low escarpment. This was the first real topography the expedition encountered since Mt Isa. Hundreds of kilometres of bitumen and bush separate geographic features of note in the Northern Territory of Australia.
The expedition naturalist sighted a rare rock wallaby.
Onward toward Alice!
We can’t stop here! This is abbo country!
