Palm Valley Revisited

Well...........we finally made it into Palm Valley to see what it was like and we weren't disappointed. We left the van at the van park and headed out to see what is was like, as it turns out if I had the tyre pressures and revs right I we went too far from the camp site. Everyone was telling us that the van would not of got in there but in the end, like I said, if I had a few things right we could of made it to the camp site easy, it's getting into the valley that is a bit rough. The road from the camp site to the valley is proper 4WD.

Another lovely place in the NT, if anybody has the chance to come around this area and have a look you will be amazed, I didn't know how many beautiful spots there are here. The valley is, as the name indicates, full of cycad palms and waterholes, the walk we went on climbed the escarpment and followed the valley around. Another good walk. Have a look at the video here.



In other news, we have decided to hang around the Alice For a month or two. Some of the roads we wand to do up north are still closed and there is a race on out here called The Finke Desert Race that I have wanted to see for years. The race starts on the 11th of June and is Australia's answer to the Dakar, albeit not so long. All the vehicles are there though, the bikes, cars, buggies etc.

So we both have jobs, Tracey is working in K-Mart as a checkout chick and I have a job making beef jerky at Territory Jerky. Both jobs took us a day to get so all is good. We plan to stay until mid June then head north.
