Weather

We left the rain back in Adelaide.  Oops, I beg your pardon, the young couples, Em, Ro, Amey & Paul had a short shower when they were walking the base of ‘The Rock’, (the seniors were looking after the precious gems, Sarah, Matilda, Evie & Zanna, who were splishing, splashing and frolicking in the pool.)  They did say the rain was magical and turned the rock silver and black but that’s another story.  Now that we are north of the Tropic of Capricorn, we have had nothing but blue skies.  Still some very cold mornings, 2 degress in the morning at Alice Springs but last night Ro and Sarah didn’t need to wear their beanies and socks to bed and it was a warm morning of 13 degrees at Tennant Creek when we woke.  Tonight we are at Mataranka and as soon as we had made camp, everyone headed to the thermal pools for a relaxing soak before dinner and I am sitting outside in a T shirt and shorts, it is still 22 degrees, enjoying the evening.  We were visited earlier by Wallabies and their Joeys and a Peacock with his harem of females.  No bats in sight.  The sign says they don’t come untill October, so with a little luck we might not see any.  Must away, it is movie night. xxx
