We left Tennant Creek about 8am and stopped at Devils Marbles which was about 130kms south. In the middle of flat country for 100's of km's, you see mother nature at its best, unusual rock formations. We only stayed for about 45 min, which was sad, as I would have loved to camp here for a few days and explore.

Mark's Harley only has fuel range of approx 180-200kms but the trip from Tennant Creek to Alice had a roadhouse every 100-150kms. We stopped at each one and everyone was different. We had breakfast at the first one and it was for sale. Turnover of 2mill and for sale for 1.25mill. Isolation plus. They had a new french backpacker start only 4 days ago and she was learning the ropes. I felt sorry for her is the owner was a $%^. The cockies will love her :)
One of the stops was Whycliffs. It is the UFO capital of Aus. I just think they have a special home brew and when it comes out, they see things.....

| Barrow Creek roadhouse. $%^ hole. |
As we got closer to Alice, the reds are redder and it looks like desert country.I started to get really excited as this is what I wanted to see.

| $2.07 a litre - not the dearest but close. |

| Fires off in the distance. They burn off now before the wet season as new growth grass grow for the cattle/sheep. |

| This road is on my bucket list. |
Amazing country.
