By this point all I can think of is the sweet air-conditioned room I have booked for Jess' birthday. We have 2 days before we are due to check in and the temperature is a contstant 42 C each day with no power to turn on our fan at night. Still, we drivealong the MacDonnell ranges and look at a few creeks during the day before staying on one of the best camping spots ever! It is just off the main road but up on a hill about 200m so you get this amazing view across the whole range. Because we are in the middle of no-where, the is no light pollution and on a clear night the sky is completely covered in stars. The milky way is really clear and the whole thing is breathtaking.
Another willy willy:
Since we were pretty much buy ourselves we thought we would set up our solar powered camp shower that we bought right at the beginning of this trip. Now, this thing hasn't seen any action since we bought it and was starting to look like someone's christmas present next year, but was probably the best showers ever!

Solar-powered shower action!
The flies are getting worse now. Within seconds of stopping they are everywhere: in your ears, nose, crawling on your lips -it's nuts! We don't bother buying fly nets which is a mistake and go for a 6km walk around the rim of Kings Canyon. This was an incredible sight and the size doesn't really come across in the photos.

The flies start to get to Jess!
