Up very early woke about 5:00. Did a load of washing before breakfast. Left park by 9. Shopped a bit (still Alice show). Went to visit Telegraph Station. Beautiful old Buildings, well furnished for a display. Lovely area surrounding . Todd River gum trees. Visited Arakune Art Gallery paintings, sculptures and a good photographic exhibition by Peter Latz. Then went out to Hermansburg Mission. Old stone buildings again on one side. Aboriginal store on other side. Quite a contrast. Lot of vandalism in aboriginal quarter. Had tea and scones with Barry. Bought music sticks and egg. Fabienne bargained unsuccessfully but didn’t get what she wanted. Then on to Palm Valley. Really 4wd. Sand, river beds and rocks. Camped about 6:00 after illegally collecting wood. Cooked steak on the fire on the fire, star gazing. Rained during night.
