23/5 Had a thong blowout last night walking back to caravan park.(foot variety). Bugger my good Havaianas. Fair bit of yelling from our indigenous brothers and sisters during the night plus barking dogs made for an interrupted sleep. Off early again. All trip we have had hundreds of motorbikes coming other way. Lots towing little trailers. Discovered Ulysses Motorcycle club had AGM event in Alice Springs last week. All heading home. Cadney Park coffee & cake $6. Rose had to stop. turned out to be instant coffee -they gave you a cup and you helped yourself- and cake in a sealed plastic bag. She decided not to partake. Free camped at Mt Connor lookout. Had spot to ourselves. Amazing. Never seen so many stars in sky. Getting ready for bed, pitch black, vehicle pulled up, people pile out. Not zombies, just busload of seniors for piss stop.

24/5 Slept like a log. Awake about 6.30. Peaceful spot invaded by mini bus full of Japanese tourists photographing sunrise on Mt Conner. Zombies preferable. Stop to photograph Uluru and Kata Tjuta on way to Yulara. Decide to book 4 nights (get 1 free). No footy on TV but do get radio. Great win in the end for Pies.
