18th August
Yesterday, we crossed into the Northern Territory.
We’ve been following the Barkly Highway since Cloncurry, and last night we camped at a free roadside, about 50km before the junction with the Stuart Highway.
Apart from lots of flies, it was a great little spot. We had a nice fire and sunset.
And being out in the middle of nowhere, the stars were amazing – and the Milky Way was so bright!
So it seemed appropriate that the boys did ‘Under the Milky Way’, by the Church for their “In the Van” Challenge.
