As our road trip continues from the heart of Australia to further north the days are getting longer and the nights warmer. From the magic of Uluru we continued into Alice Springs for two days of catching up; washing the car and van, restocking, writing articles, vehicle maintenance, washing and routine stuff that’s part of … More From Devils Marbles to Mataranka
