Woke up after a really cold nights sleep (it got down to 3 C) and even though my sleeping bag it meant to be comfortable to 5 C it was a very uncomfortable night. While I was having breakfast and talking to the guy next to me he pointed out that the front left tire was balding itself on the outside of the tire. He said I probably needed a tire alignmet so I ran off to get that done before I met Denise . The first two tire places couldn't do an alignment but the third one slotted me in pretty quickly and they sorted the alignment out and swaped the
rear and front tires. A relief to have it done before the next big drive. After that I picked Denise up and we went shopping for food and fuel, and by midday we were on the road heading up the Stuart Hwy. Not that much to see along the way aside from lots little historical markers. We stopped for the sunset at the Devils Marbles which was quite cool and then set up camp next to them. The next morning we hit the road at about 10 am and again spent most of the day driving. We arrived at the town of Mataranka at about 6 and went straight to the hot springs that are located next to the camp site where we soaked the long drive away. It's an amazing place with
big palm trees and ferns surrounding the pools. When the stars came out and the fruit bats started flying around overhead it was a special moment. After dinner we went straight to bed as I was dead after the long drive. Tomorrow's plan is to head over to Katherine and spend the day relaxing there.
