Up at 5:30am. Today just involved retracing our steps back to Alice. We stopped for a morning break at Curtain Springs Station then onto Emu Station for lunch and we were back to our hotel in Alice around 4pm.
Only variety that occurred was that we stopped on the side of the road just out of Curtain Springs, climbed the sand hill that edged the road and on the other side was the vast Armadeus Salt Lake. It was amazing. You could drive that road and never know it was there. Now the spooky thing about this is that both Jeanette and I photographed that lake and none of the photos came out. The best we have was from the top of the sandhill looking across to what the locals call ”Foolaru” and the maps “Mt Conner”.
We had the next day as a layover in Alice as our train to Adelaide was not due till the following day. We really needed this as we were both fairly beat by this time.
We had a great sleep in. I worked to try and catch up with the blog posts and Jeanette attacked the laundry. With this done we had a crack at removing the spot from my camera’s sensors which appears to have been successful.
Around midday we wandered down to Lasseters Casino. We had a very nice lunch here. The buildings were impressive as were the gardens but inside was rather tired and worn and it was very quiet.
