Tilmouth Roadhouse

P1000973 Today we will be reaching the end of it unpaved road, a bumpy ride, which after three days and will shake a relief. Romain and I were up early. We drank coffee and waited until our ladies also awakened sometime. Because the flies were already awake and we tried it with a fire away. Eventually, the ladies were up and we decided to drive together to Alice Springs. Romain goes pretty quickly because he was always far ahead in a short time, so we initially saw a cloud of dust, and later still nothing.

Eventually, the road then we ate a late breakfast at a highway rest area, which offered a sunscreen. We reached about 14.00 clock Yuendumu, a town with many Aborigines. Also here was a strict ban on alcohol, what was written on tablets before they went into the village.

P1000976 While the Caledonians could repair their tires, we made before for dinner. In the first shop in this village, we found almost nothing. It was small and most of the shelves empty. Therefore, we could fill up here and we filled our tank again. For Romain was the price too high, and he later simply poured the canisters, which he had purchased in Broome to $ 1.30 in the tank. In the second store we were lucky and then we bought frozen fish, pasta and a presumed lemon, which turned out at night as the Orange, after it had been cut.

P1000975 Then we visited the Art Gallery of the village and took a look at these works of art. The drawings differed in some of those symbols, which we had seen in Balgo. Aurélie only wanted to buy something, but even the smallest image was approximately $ 90. So we drove on to the next roadhouse called Tilmouth. This proved to be very friendly place and offered a lot of luxury. Swimming Pool, Camp Side of electricity, green grass and little flies. The owners were a little upset, because the national television just stayed in this House Road to catch the next morning at 4 scenes for the clock in the morning weather. Live from Tilmouth Well Roadhouse.

We set up our camper and Romain and I began to replace its spare tire on back with the repaired while Aurélie and Helene sought the refrigerant in the pool.

P1000979 Later we joined them and we enjoyed it to splash on these sweaty last days without shower facilities in a pool.

After the shower Romain had the idea of ​​the sunset from the middle of the river to enjoy. Of course, the river was like everyone else, if it had not just been raining here without water.

The riverbed is made of sand and a few trees that grow in it anyway.

P1000985 So we sat with a cold beer, which was also banned outside of the square, in the river on our chairs and watched the sun disappear.

Helene and I were then upgrade to it with dinner and two bottles of good wine, ate and we laughed into the night.
