We had a great ride out to Lichfield National park today. One of the best roads we have ridden since we left home. It had pretty well everything - twisties, speed and great scenery. A total of around 350km and well worth the effort. I can understand why the local Ulyssians said it wass so good. Only down was that is was quite hot and being Good Friday all the locals were there going to their favourite swimming holes.

Tomorrow the trip home really starts. Even though we are well over half way, the trip south towards Alice Springs and Port Agusta really brings home the fact that we are on our way home. I will be a little sad to leave Darwin, as I have found it to be a nice city. The weather is pretty good, a little on the warm side but much better than some places we have been to. It is also a very friendly place and very easy to get around. We plan to stop off in Katerine again and this time we will visit the Gorge. Its then a long way to Alice Springs with not a great deal along the way.
