The first official day of the Safari was Tuesday. We had a wonderful big 3 course dinner, provided by Legacy, followed up by a massive big breakfast the following morning. The menu - Bacon, eggs, sausages, hash, tomatoes, toast, coffee, tea, juice, cereal, and fesh fruit. Once again provided by Legacy. Its a wonder we could move on after those two feasts. Every vehicle is given an official No. The very first day you had to leave according to your No. We were No. 52 (there were only 53) and so we were 2nd to last to leave the Racecourse. Naturally we got to the next camp a little faster than many. Not a lot to see between stops, except there was a huge amount of fresh road kill, mainly big red kangaroos, which was sad and lots of hawks waiting to feast. A few small blink and you will miss them towns. Our official camp spot is the Yunta Racecourse. 5 of us walked into town, about 20 mins away, stopped at the pub for drinks and then made our way back in time for happy hour. A big communal happy hour, some comedians amongst the group and some music. Nice way to end the day. Every day there is either a communal happy hour or individuals, so that you can get to know your fellow travellers in smaller gatherings. From tomorrow onwards, you dont have to leave at your alloted No. but whenever you are ready to go. You call up on the CB, let them know you are off and then make your way to the next destination. You can stop as many times as you like for smoko, lunch or wander off the track for sightseeing as long as you are at the camp spot by a designated time or let the "sweep team" who are the last motorhome in the line know your whereabouts. We have a pub dinner lined up for tomorrow night. The last Safari drank the hotel dry, so we have a reputation to uphold.!!!!!!!! Judging by the fellow Rvers, it wont be hard.

These bikers did a Charity run to Alice Springs to raise money & awareness of Depression. Hence the "Black Dogs" hitching a ride. Dozens of bikers passed us, all had the black dogs on their bikes. |
