Termitaria haiku

2/6/2018

0 Comments

 
NT has the most amazing termite mounds. many align themselves magnetic north. And by the time you get to the top end where we are now they can be 2-3 metres high. You pass incredible eerie fields of them that look like the earth's own Stonehenge. Some are sharp and craggy, some are curvy and vaguely sensual, some are like fairy citadels in miniature.

A list, and the most useful tool

Most expensive so far - a growing list
Petrol $2.05 (Ernabella- Pukatja), Yulara (Uluru)
Boxed water - 10 litres $10 Marla roadhouse
Milk - 2 litres $7.50 Daly Waters
Ice - 5kg $8.80 Daly Waters
(Everything else was great value at Daly Waters. Where there was a remoteness and shelf life cost they passed it on. Otherwise not.)
Most expensive flat - new tyre $190 (fitted) Oodnadatta pink roadhouse (but they did have the right tyre in stock so no complaint really...flying in a new tyre would have scooped the pool)
Pictured below is without doubt the most useful tool on board
  1. Raking the coals and arranging the fire - many times
  2. Managing the camp oven in and out of the heat - many times
  3. Lifting the camp oven lid to check on the amazing food within - many times
  4. Handle for jacking up the van to dig out wheels from a bog - once and once only I hope
  5. Handle for jacking up the van to remove flatty and put spare tire on - twice. Meh, it's easy
And to think I nearly left it home...
