Jervois to Alice Springs
Day 99
25th March 2010

The road from Jervois to Alice was half unsealed and half sealed, much better than the run yesterday. The everchanging landscape was indescribable. One minute you are passing low lying shrubs with orangey white dirt then some magnificent ranges will pop up and the dirt turns to rusty red. The mirages on the road are like nothing we have ever seen, you really believe there is a flood plain on the road.

Arriving in Alice was really exciting for us all. We stocked up on food, fuel and water and headed to the West Macdonnell Ranges for our next stop.

We pulled into Ormiston Gorge campground late in the arvo, set up camp and marvelled at the colours and size of the rockface we would wake up to for the next few days, while we explored this part of the ranges.
