I missed my granddaughter Sophia in the night. So this is a poem just for her.
Missing Sophia
Sweet baby girl I’m wide awake
And thinking now of you
I wonder at this moment,
if you’re up..and Mummy too???
I’d love to see your pretty face
And hold you as you doze
To see those lovely dimples
And that little snubby nose
To watch you gaze around the room
To see your little smile
And then to hold you as you sleep
Just for a little while
Instead I’m lying in my bed
Beside the old Ghan track
But little girl, it won’t be long
And grandma will be back.
We left camp just after 9. And had completed the road into Alice Springs by around 11.
As we came towards the city we could see a mass of white and wondered what it was. It turned out to be about 100 planes ( parked on the land at the airport due to COVID flight cuts) It was hard to get a good picture from the road
Now our washing and shopping are done. We’ve consulted the windscreen experts, who advised that we have a number of windscreen chips, but it really isn’t worth replacing it right now considering the planned route, so we will expect more cracks and keep going as long as the driver can see ok.
We have topped up with fuel and the boys are off trying to find a UHF radio suitable for Al so that we can solve some of the communication issues. Water is topped up and we smell all clean.
Tomorrow we will be off across the Tanami so there will probably be no communication for a few days. We will post when we can.
Just for your amusement I thought you might enjoy the graphics on the loos in the caravan park here
