Day 151 Watarrka National Park – Rainbow Valley National Park August 27th – August 28th



We took the Mereenie Loop Road 4WD road back to Alice Springs stopping at Gosse Bluff – a comet impact site before finishing the drive at the beautiful Rainbow Valley National Park. The Loop Road claimed another Andersen Plug which I had to repair to ensure the fridge got power – how else am I to keep the drinks cold!



Plenty of camels on the drive
The facilities and 4WD road into Rainbow Valley were much better than suggested by our guide book and we had the place pretty much to ourselves. We watched the sun go down over a stunning rock formation, showcasing its golden hues.
