Entry 5 - Catching up with a primary school friend


26/4/16

Our next stopover was at Devils Marbles Conservation Reserve, a collection of gigantic rounded granite boulders. We walked around viewing the magical landscape of granite boulders. We could understand a setting of this nature to be of special significance to the aboriginal people.

Next stopover was at Tennant Creek where we stayed for three nights with Mary’s primary school friend Sandra & husband Robert. We spent most of our time at their home having a wow of a time socialising. The girls had a sensational time coming up with different ideas for meals and some wow factor sweets. Their two adult kids were constantly checking in to assess the days proposed meal ideas and somehow allocated time to arrive just at meal time (including lunch & tea) before disappearing again. For some exercise we did get up early one morning for the Anzac dawn service 25/4/2016.

 Our final day at Tennant Creek we decided on one last midday meal bash – leftovers, where Robert came home for lunch from work but unfortunately Sandra got unexpectedly tied up at work and we eventually resumed our travels around 12.30 pm. After driving about 100 kilometres we pulled into Banka Banka, a station stay, feeling rather exhausted from the last few days activities and we both immediately lapsed into an afternoon siesta.



And we spent the next couple of days without an urge to consume much food at all.
