Home again

14 September 2017


We left Richmond and arrived in Hughenden in time time for coffee at a favourite cafe, as well as a quick look in the local op-shop. From there it was on to Pentland for a picnic lunch in the park, through Charters Towers and finally home.

  • We were away from home for 44 nights
  • We travelled approximately 6 780 kilometres
  • We visited 8 National Parks or Reserves (Bladensberg - Qld, Tjoritja/West Macdonnell, Yeperenye/Emily and Jesse Gaps, Trephina Gorge, N'Dhala Gorge, Uluru - Kata Tjuta, Watarrka/King's Canyon, Finke Gorge - NT)
  • We camped at 6 National Park or Reserve campgrounds - Bough Shed Hole -Bladensberg,  Panorama - Trephina Gorge, Woodland - Redbank Gorge, Ormiston Gorge and Ellery Creek Big Hole - Tjoritja, Palm Valley - Finke Gorge
  • We completed more than 25 walks in parks and reserves 
  • We experienced some temperature extremes, from 2° overnight in Alice Springs to 37° in the shade at Clem Walton Park but we were not rained on even once
  • We dubbed this trip  "Of Canyons and Chasms, Gorges and Gaps" because that is what we fell in love with in Central Australia
