wycliffe wells/tennant creek

Wycliffe Wells is known as the UFO capital of Australia as numerous sightings have been recorded from this area. The camp ground use this as a theme for the park. We didn't see any UFO's but the milkly way and stars were on display that night.





What an outback town, did a lap of the main street it sure is spot the white aussies.
We booked into the outback caravan park, had my usual blood test which worked out well because Dr. Read comes here once a month. We went to happy hour, then a presentation of the Bush Tucker man come story teller.
He made the bush tea and damper and recited poetry.
Between Wycliffe Wells and Tennant Creek we stopped to walk around the area known as the Devil's Marbles.


Daly Waters we found out on arrival the yearly rodeo was schedule for this week-end and the area was full of cow boys and girls, we were expecting a lot of noise through the night however there wasn't any. Daly Waters Historic Pub was build in 1930 this was due to the local airport being made into an international airport so that Qantas could use it as a stop to refuel on their way to Europe.
The American and Australian Airforces set up headquarters there in 1942.
Currently the hotel is adorned with about 200 women's bras, football jumpers, baseball caps thousands of business cards. We had their special meal, Beef and Barra, Warren hasn 't stopped raving about it.
