Day 7 Fri Jervois – Ruby Gap

 

We did some calculating of our time.  As we did not travel through the desert we were actually a day or so in front of our plans.  So we decided to take a “short cut” through the Cattlewater pass into the East Macdonnell Ranges, then to Ruby Gap a place Kate and Paul missed out on last time they were here.

Some easy driving????

  

But some nice views…

  

And interesting fellow travellers…

Visiting a 1898 gold mine …

          

 

Arriving at Ruby Gap, driving down Hale River looking for a nice campsite.  Returning to the entry point of the river for a solid base campsite.  Then enjoying the light sprinkles of rain before retiring to bed.

  

 

Glen Helen Resort tomorrow night via Alice Springs for supplies then a day off from travelling, looking forward to that. See ya.
