Day 14 Tanami Tootle 51km to Ormiston Gorge 49km

A shower! Of hot water, taps for fresh bore water. A kiosk for multiple bacon and egg toasties! Doesn’t get better than this. Except not having the ranger make you move camp just on dusk because we hadn’t booked a camp site days before (difficult when on bicycles on rough roads). Anyway we were directed to the tour bus camping area where a beer from a tour guide helped us feel better.

Steripen sterilizing water Ormiston Gorge. Probably didn’t need it and the only time we used it on the trip as roadhouses/motorists/road and mining camps had clean water)
Finke River Ormiston Gorge – from here to Alice Springs the gorges are all fairly similar. Fed by water running underground from the Tanami Desert 100 km away
