Friday was a magic day. We drove the 136km out of Alice Springs towards Hermannsburg through the MacDonnell Ranges which are just amazing in their colour and formation. We turned off towards the Finke Gorge National Park and Palm Valley. We love the MacDonnell Ranges and as most of the country near Alice Springs is dry it was quite a surprise to find a lush valley of ancient palms.
The track to get there was an experience in itself with rocky climbs and large sandy patches to traverse. David did a fantastic job driving the "road" which claims plenty of vehicle casualties. It is marked as "4WD high clearance required" and they weren't joking! We drove to the valley along the rocky and sandy Finke river bed.
Blessings to all and see you next time wherever the van stops.
I hope the caravan lasts! I've heard the roads destroy vehicles. All your travels sound fabulous, wish I was there! Take care both of you. xx K
