Day 4: Bush Camp to Alice Springs

After the eventful night with jets, helicopters and aliens visiting us, we were on the road quite early. Collis gave Jerry the cash card in case we didn't meet them in time for morning tea at Stuarts Well which was only 30 kms down the road. Freezing this morning and everyone having trouble getting their fingers to work.

We made it to Stuart Well just before all riders except Jane who seemed to be powering on. We had a good break there and all had their sustenance. A few checked out the camels housed here and the emus caged at the well. Jeanette ordered a camel burger to have for her lunch.

Lunch was at the 85 km mark on the side of the road. Jeanette enjoyed her burger but was very full as she had also eaten a pie for morning tea. Everyone keen to get back on the road to get into Alice Springs.

All except Jane managed to find their way into the caravan park. Kirsten is staying 2 nights with a friend who lives here, the boys have all taken a cabin together, Jane has taken a cabin on her own and Jeanette and Ingrid are camping. Collis and I have taken a cabin as well.

Tonight we all went to the Alice Springs Rotary meeting/dinner as guests and Collis and Jerry both did a little speech on Cycle Across Oz and Jerry's fundraising plans. It was interesting to listen and see how the rotary is organised.
