August 11^th was all about driving – 660km and nothing special on the way. The only interesting place that we saw was Devil’s Marbles with loads of big egg-shaped stones forming various piles.

We have passed Wycliffe Creek – for some reason the UFO capital of Australia, and Tennant Creek – the only major town on our way from Alice to Mount Isa. Major town meaning 3,000 people in total J Tennant Creek felt totally aboriginal with the same feeling that we had in Alice… Don’t know whether to sympathize or simply accept…

Another 300km from Tennant Creek – we started heading East towards Great Barrier Reef. The only person we have met on the way was German backpacker Carolin traveling on her own in a van towards Alice Springs. Another person, who apparently got bored by Sales job in IKEA and left to travel for a year… Probably so much time for reflection… I wouldn’t stand traveling on my own…
