Ropes course finished up late on Sunday and we headed into Leonora to meet up with Mum and Dad. Two nights ago we camped a few k's out of Leonora, and now we are camping in the same spot again ready to hit the great central road tomorrow morning.
Monday morning we woke up to yet another incredible view over Malcolm Dam (just outside of Leonora, where we are camping tonight). The nights are pretty cold out here at the moment, and therefore a good reason to purchase an electric blanket in Kal. Sunday night was the first night we used it and we both agree the $22.99 was very well spent!
Does this caming area resemble anything?
We headed to Niagra Dam and went for walk then headed for Menzies to have a look at my Great granddads Butcher shop which is one of the last old buildings still standing in Menzies which is pretty special. They are in the process of renovating the shop, as you can see it’s all boarded up at the moment. The front counter is still intact and would have been pretty amazing back in the day.
Brett found a few number plates at the service station on our way out of town.
From Menzies we cruised on to Lake Ballard to check out the crazy statues in the middle of the Salt Lake. The most bizarre thing is that I can’t imagine anyone ever really headed out there before the statues were constructed and now people like us head out 100k’s just to see these alien figures standing naked on a big dry lake.
This morning we packed up and Mum and Dad went one way and we went the other. One part of our holiday is over which I admit was a little teary, tomorrow we jump on the great central road and start making our way to Alice Springs.
