Dingoes howling woke us up. Got out to rainy sky. Rekindled the fire and cooked bacon and eggs. Then drove so far and walked up Palm Valley. Great place. Cycads-Macrozamia MacDonnellii up the mountain sides in rock ledges. Also tall Red Cabbage Tree Palms. Very unusual against the terra cotta rocks. Back to truck by 12:00 and then drove out, refuelled at Hermansburg and back nearly to Alice. Before heading off to Ormiston Gorge. Disappointed to find camp full. Came on to Glen Helen Gorge could camp in front yard. Ended up in the bar with a lovely log fire having a counter tea – soup, lasagne and rhubarb and custard, very good. Morris isn’t at all well but appreciated the warmth and good meal. Watched a video on the centre land of rainbow gold and talked to an English girl and American who were youth hostelling. Good accommodation a good way to visit for a short while.
