Day 45. Thursday, 1 August 2012.

A relatively quiet day was had. We remained in Alice and journeyed out a few k's along the Ross River Highway and studied the near East MacDonnell Ranges. We wandered through Emily Gap and then Jessie Gap. Both a quite short but wide fissures through the ranges. There is also some very ancient aboriginal art to be seen. Not as elaborate as that seen in Kakadu, quite simple really but still has a story to tell.

We then went out further to a place called Corroboree Rock....a strange feature which is sacred to the Arrente people but 'tis said that they did not hold corroborees there. Go figure.

We had a 'picnic' lunch after we wandered around that place then back to the caravan park for a quiet afternoon spent reading in the sunshine and talking to some of the neighbours.
