On the way to Alice Springs

Unfortunately we were driving in the hot part of the day and as it was about 500kms to Alice we decided to stop over at a road side rest stop at the Finke River. We needed to arrive at Alice early enough on Friday to buy new brake shoes for the caravan as they were starting to squeak.
The idea was that Lloyd would change them at the camp site before we went too much further.
Much to our surprise the Finke River actually had water in it. I have remarked that most Australian rivers are 'vitual rivers'.It was a very picturesque place with a lot of small fish,birds and plants.

Nearly there!!!
