Halls creek to Alice Springs

First night out of Halls Creek stopped at a roadside spot just before the turnoff to Kirkimbie Station, the furthest station from Halls Creek on my mobile kindergarten run in 1976.
Brandt set about setting up and I went inside to put the billy on......no power!! No fuses blown. We had set up the caravan for this kind of camping. - not even the solar panels showed any sign of life. Oh dear. The batteries appear to have died! So it was out with the torches and luckily we had water in containers as we couldn't access the caravan tank water.
Second night at Top Springs we plugged in to power and water so were able to shower there.
Our route took us via Duncan Highway, Buntine Highway, and Buchanan Highway to the Stuart Highway.

We passed the Devils Marbles (and took heaps of photos)












We stayed that night at Ti Tree where we were visited by a peacock and his harem of peahens
