Day 19 – 12th May 2010.
Chambers Pillar To Mt Dare
Watched the sunrise on the Pillar. It was a truly beautiful place.
On the way back to Maryvale we visited the art centre at Titjikala. There were some really beautiful artworks. The community itself was a bit sad and an abundance of dogs of all shapes and sizes.
We joined the Ghan Heritage Trail which actually followed the old rail tracks, with old railway sleeper spikes littered all the way. We stopped at some of the rail sidings and water tank stops and read the history of The Ghan. That road followed the Alice Springs to Finke Desert Race Track.
More spectacular scenery and we arrived at Mt Dare in time for an evening drink. Also in time to get eaten alive by mosquitoes. Set up camp in a great hurry and up to the hotel for a very average dinner. The highlight of the evening was watching all the recoveries from the desert on tv – made us feel really confident!!!! There were some great photos and some good advice from the bartender.
