Having stayed an extra day at Alice Springs we packed up and had an early start for one of the longest days driving on the trip. Our destination was Tennant Creek some 510km up the Stuart Highway. We had several stops along the way. First break was Renner Springs for a cuppa, then onto Elliot for Lunch. We arrived at the Caravan Park around 5.00pm and booked in for the night. The Manager couldn’t be any more layed back than he was. “You can pick your own site, drive around til you see something you like” We did just that and had a site with Bougainvillea plants around us. We set up the Motorhome just in time for our happy hour at 5,30pm we had an executive meeting that night on discussion of our destination the next day. The Choices were Daly Waters or Mataranka. The unanimous decision was Mataranka which was a further 100km north.
Saturday 5th June
Another early start. We departed Tennant Creek around 8.15am. Today is a travel day, with some scheduled stops along the way! Reg drove the 1st leg to Dunmarra Roadhouse, while Alan stacked a few zzzZZZZZ in the back. At Dunmarra Alan took the wheel and took us to the Pink Panther non descript menagerie at Larrimah, including an 8' Salt water Crocodile, saw us arrive in Mataranka around 4.30pm.
