Before we left Banka Banka Station Trev decided we needed to sort out the caravan tyre again which was still wearing unevenly despite the alignment in Perth….so we planned to stop at Tennant Creek for fuel and get the Bridgestone guys to take a look. We were meeting Ruth, Andrew and Stephie at Karlu Karlu (the Devils Marbles) today to continue the adventure with them for the next 3 weeks.

We arrived in Tennant Creek and Branch had a great time at Bridgestone with the guys who rotated tyres etc to allow us to continue on without buying new ones yet.

While we were there Ruth, Andrew and Stephie arrived so we met them and had coffee at a local cafe..it was great to see them and exciting to  continue our journey together….

Branch was really pleased to see them as instantly he was into action with the skylight they had left up on their journey!

We drove to the Devil’s Marbles and set up camp – fortunately we got there early enough to get a good spot…..later on the campground was so full that many people had to go elsewhere as there was no room.

We had our first meal together and then went exploring.

The Devils Marbles were spectacular…round boulders of granite, mica and feldspar….amazing sights…

Trev tried out his strength..lots of interesting photos…

Stephie and Trev swapped hats….

and Trev found the biggest crack he had ever seen!

Trev went awol at happy hour…..he cycled out to look at the number of vans in the campsite….and didn’t return for ages….looking at the number of vans no wonder…so many opportunities for a chat 😆…if Gordie was here they would never have returned!!

Sunset was beautiful with all the colours of the rocks, sun and sky…..and the rangers came around and gave us all a campfire talk about the area…
