After a good stop in Alice Springs it was time to hit the road again. The 29th of October our relocation car was ready to go : 2500 km in 5 days to reach Cairns.
The big 4 weel drive came with lots of options, as we discoverd along the way....

First of all, we crossed the tropic of capricon, just north of Alice Springs, and continued our journey far away in north.
A great day, it's good to be on the road again. We made about 600 kms and the dusk had already fallen when we went to sleep. We were told that there was a tent on the roof, so it was time to figure it out. Actually this is a great tent, ideal to sleep under the stars.
At Three ways, we took the Bruce Hwy to go to Mt Isa and Cluncurry, the landscape didn't change so much.. no mountains, no green at all, but a lot of cows (that we wonder what they really can eat there!)
After arriving at the small town of Normanton, we took the Savannah way, a beautifull road that cross Australia from Broome to Cairns. There we saw lots of kangaroos, driving after the sunset was quite dangerous!
600 km per day, only time to stop to eat and sleep, but was amazing to see how the landscap changes along the way. Suddenly after Ravenshoe, where we stopped for a quick swim (very quick) at Millstream falls, the small mountains appear with green grass and tall trees and palmtrees- we are in the Tropic - Only 100 km to reach Cairns.
