Stuart Highway is famous road cutting Australia by half North to South – Darwin to Adelaide. 30 years ago I was travelling the road by bus  Now I can make on it unlimited stopovers. More or less parallel to this road goes the famous railway line – I took inthe past legendary Ghan train heading north – to Darwin:

Do you know, that I am capricorn?  Today I had a chance to cross again the Tropic of Capricorn. Some 30 kms north of Alice Springs on Stuart Highway there is a special monument – marker on the parking place, where you can even spend a night. It was a good opportunity to be photographed on the my Tropic again:

It was rather relaxing day for us (still 39 deg Celsius – is it ralaxing temperature?) because we Drove only 400 kms. Australia is a huge country!   Already at 1 pm we got a nice room in the cozy Alice Motor Inn – worth to recommend. Alice Springs – the town in the mid of Australia did not change much since my last visit. Todd river is completly dry. There are still groups of Aborigin people wondering the streets… Sad view…
