Part two of Peter’s big day out and we have left Birdsville and are heading for Alice Springs. On our way we will have to negotiate the MinMin lights, forty two degree heat and various other hazards (emus, kangaroos, cows, eagles and the possible onset of respiratory infections like asthma and colds, gastrointestinal illnesses such as gastroenteritis, and skin infections like impetigo and hand, foot, and mouth disease). Fortunately our large wooden medical kit well equipped with tinctures (described by Merriam Websters dictionary as “a solution of a medicinal substance in an alcoholic solvent“) so I have no reason to think that we will not prevail in our quest. My only concern is what the actual quest is! Anyway to the photographic evidence.

By the way…… 1. Pete’s brother was 76 today, he is the one with the beard and glasses. 2. We saw no MInMIn lights and the tinctures kept all other woes at bay and 3. We are currently sitting in the dark as we are blacked out in our fancy cabin at Alice Springs.

Tomorrow …. Finke Gorge weather permitting.
