Trephina Gorge is beautiful and we found a wonderful campground. Our setups are a bunch better now where we arrive, stop and eat something (with the flies) and then when everyone is sated, set up. Much better.
We popped into Alice Springs for some supplies (we were running a little low), and found, a town, just like many others out here. Quite dusty, enough shops to provide us with what we needed, and probably too many people and cars for our liking.
We ate on top of Anzac Hill to gain some perspective and saw all of the ranges, and met some of the folk who had been here for the Masters the week before (believe it or not, we are old enough now to be in "the Masters - just need to find a sport now).
We found out about the roads on the West, all dirt roads shut due to the rains... Time to wait for a couple of days.
Trephina Gorge itself was lovely to swim in, warm and delicious, fresh and flowing.
From here we will head straight across to the West MacDonnell.
