Day 21, Friday 2 July 21
Lockdown lifted at 1pm today , a day earlier than expected. 😀
We busted out of the trailer park ASAP, heading back to the East to check out Yeperenye – known by their Euro names as Emily’s and Jesse’s Gaps.
These are sacred sites for the Arrente People, there is rock art present dealing with the origin story of the ranges and the Caterpillar dreaming which is important to it. The first site is a women’s site , the second a men’s site. The local people have requested no photos of the art , we respected their request.
The rest of the afternoon was spent in re-organisation and maintenance. After our enforced sojourn in Alice we are over it … and living in a poorly supervised day care centre for feral kids as their parents did goodness knows what .
We are heading North tomorrow, crossing the Tropic and chasing warmer climes. Also hoping the WA border opens so we can resume our planned travel.
While prepping this post had another Ring – Neck Parrot drop in. He checked out Ness’ phone , said G’day and loitered with intent for quite a while .
