Donkeys, Spiders and Mice

Drove back on ourselves and finally ended up at the MacDonnell ranges and went to Ellery Creek Big Hole for a nice refreshing early morning swim. By refreshing, I mean bloody freezing! Many other people went down, dipped their feet in the water before running off scared, Chris and I were the first and only people in the water all morning before some other brave people joined us.

A great water hole

Nice relaxing morning before we continued driving for the next few days. In the evening we made it further than we thought we would staying 100kms south of Tennents Creek. The campsite we chose was recommended in our Camps book, but we can safely say that it was our worse one yet…

Donkey

The ground was almost swimming with ants it was impossible to sit outside or even go outside without running, a ton of mosquitoes, a wild donkey that attempted to kick Chris, but luckily he ran away in time, tried eating our food,

Stupid bloody donkey

tried breaking into the van by bashing it all night at almost broke our wing mirrors. Not only that, a Huntsman spider invited it’s way into our van and scared me half to death and then awoke in the night to hear rustling in the front and petrified it was a snake, we tried to investigate, but found nothing until morning when Chris was about to get in and drive and found tiny mouse poos on his seat.
