September 17th Saturday 2011 Erldunda

I was awake at 5:00 a.m. this morning and try as I might, I could not get back to sleep so read for a while then decided to get up. Checked out the gorge face with the rising sun - looked pretty cool.

Passed through Alice and arrived at Erldunda CP early this afternoon. It's changed a bit since 1988. It was a bit of a dust bowl and everything was very basic. I remember the pool here was extremely cold but we got in because we were so hot. Our short-wheel base landcruiser had wind-down air conditioning (windows) and vents that opened at foot level.

There's green grass in the camping area now and things have improved. I bet the pool is still cold.

We're just here overnight - it was too far to travel in one day to get to Kings Canyon.
