Darwin to Alice Springs Day 2

January 12th, 2009 | Posted by Davey in 11-Australia - (1 Comments)

Day 2: Katherine George to Tennant Creek.  Same old story, we were unable to visit the thermal pools because they were flooded.  But we did manage to visit Daly Walters outback hotel, the Territory’s oldest pub (1930).  A kind of cute and quaint pub and a stop off for most tours.  Akin to Foxe’s (Ireland’s highest pub) it has collected a weird array of signed memorabilia from drunken tourists like bras, knickers, flip flops, hats, shorts etc.  We had a BBQ for lunch and then cooled off in pool for an hour.

It was then onto Australia’s first international airport, but you wouldn’t know it as it had completly overgrown and has blended in with the rugged landscape.  A total of 12 hours on the bus by the time we made it to Tennant Creek where we camped for the night.  We had yet another late night chatting while drinking plenty of tinnies.
