Days 15 & 16

 Two of the rocks balancing at Devils Marbles

Another balancing act!!!!
 You can see how the rocks just fit together
 Wycliffe, apparently a town that has the most UFO
sighting in Australia.
 Going down into Alice Springs, the mountain ranges around it

The Welcome sign into the Alice

Well yesterday was pretty uneventful.  We left Darwin at about 8.00am and drove for about 960 kms to Tennant Creek.  We stayed there overnight but didn't get much sleep as we were right next to the highway and the aborignes don't seem to know when bed time is and were yelling up and down the street.all night.  They finally quietened down just as we were leaving at 7.00am this morning.  We decided to drive to Alice Springs and got here at about lunch time.  On the way we stopped at this place where there was a formation of rocks called the Devil's Marbles.  Really it was amazing how the rocks were balancing on top of each other.  These were not put like this by man but were caused by thousand of years of erosion.  Tomorrow we are going to Uluru (Ayers Rock) and staying there overnight then continuing on down south.  We should cross over the border into South Australia on Sunday.
