Daly Waters Pub to Tennant Creek

08/04/2010

Had a swim and water aerobics session this morning at the Daly Waters pub. We met the park manager Errol, another grey nomad who stopped for a night and didn’t leave. His wife Lyn works as a kitchen hand in the pub and now looking at staying for around 6 months. It seems that is you want a job you will get one in a flash in the outback. We had a good chat and a coffee with Errol before we headed off for Tennant Creek. I have never put so much fuel in anything for a long time, I filled up in Katherine and I need to put a bit in to get us through to Tennant Creek. I slide up to the pump Renner Springs to look at the price, $1.98.5c per litre, my god you have to be kidding! I put $50 in and bought just over 25 litres. This should get us through to Tennant Creek where fuel was $1.49.5 on 180 litres that is a $90 saving over Renner Springs. I must have been a bit heaver on the foot getting to Tennant Creek as we averaged 25 litres per 100 kilometres. It was nice to finally pull up in the caravan park. Now that we are here we decided to see some of the sites we didn’t see when we were here last time. Off to Kunjurra also known as the Pebbles, quite disappointing after seeing Devils Marbles. Lake Mary Anne was pleasant and we met a couple from Coffs harbour who are sharing a bus with a group of backpackers, you could tell that they were dying to talk to some adults, they just about chased us down when they saw us. They also mentioned Kings Canyon, it seems that this is a place you have to see so we are now planning our next trip to Alice Springs.
