It was another blue sky day as we drove up the Stuart Highway known as Explorers Highway 500kms to Tennant Creek.
Our first stop was was at Wycliffe Well which only has a caravan park and a roadhouse. It is well known as the UFO capital of Australian as it has by far the most number of reported sightings.

The decorated Roadhouse!!!
Our next stop was Karlu Karlu/ Devils Marbles Conservation Reserve .The natural rock formations are of great cultural and spiritual to the Aboriginal owners and the English name came from the quote from John Ross on a Australian Overland expedition "This is devils country, he's even emptied his bag of marbles around the place" in 1870.

The boulders are scattered over a large are, here are just a few.
We also passed through Aileron a small settlement with a large statue that made for a good photo and then stayed at Tennant Creek for the night in a caravan park. We hardly passed any traffic during the day except for Road Trains which were now over 50 metres long. There is an open speed limit on much of this road which means that you drive to the conditions, whatever that maybe!!!
