1. Mai 2012 Alice Springs to Devils Marbles

On this day we had about 400 km to go, so we drove North quite briskly.

We stopped at the pub of Barrow Creek. There we met Steven, an English man, who was also doing his travels on a motorbike. From him we received some important hints for our travels. After that we drove to the Devils Marbles.



Arrived at sunset. On this free camping area there were at least 150 people and approximately 75 camper vans and camp trailers or similar vehicles.

2. Mai 2012 Devils Marbels to Newcastle Water

We wanted to see the Devils Marbles at sunrise, so we forced ourselves out of bed early.



It's fascinating how this granite formed into balls through weather influences.

On this day our aim was to ride about 400 km. We achieved this and camped just after Elliot (18 km) on a free camping area next to the road.


3. Mai 2012 Newcastle Waters to Katherine

We got away early and drove the 400 km to Katherine quickly. Here there is a tropical climate, a humidity of about 80 – 90 % and temperatures around 30 ° C, in total it's very humid.

There are hot springs directly next to the camp site. We bathed in it. It's very funny how warm water comes out of the ground here. The very large spiders in the surrounding bush meant that everybody stayed in the water nicely.
