I had mentioned in a previous Blog that we intended to go to those other attractions of the area but we have found that the NATURAL are much better. West Macdonnel ranges are amazing. The shape of these ranges and the trauma that occurred during there formation makes me glad that it was all done before we got here. Standley chasm that we have seen photos of and been featured in travel docos for years is better in the flesh,so to speak.Simpsons gap didn't sound much but there again we were amazed at its beauty and ruggedness. Warming up here quickly so the morning is the best time to walk through these natural beauties than after lunch. We are learning. Dinner out at Robin and Darrells place was a nice catch up after nineteen years, and they have Sturt desert peas growing wild in their garden and at full flower at the moment, another WOW.John Flynn, from RFDS fame was a great pioneer of the inland. Flynn was born at Moliagul in victoria and died in Alice Springs and is buried beneath a large rock/monument beneath the West Macdonnel Ranges. Quite a fitting place for him when you know his history and what a great man he was.
