Mt Isa to Tennant Creek

What a boring drive today was, so flat and dead straight. At least it was all sealed, but still an amazingly boring 6 1/2 hour drive!

It did see us make our way over into the Northern Territory though, first time to the NT for both of us (and Froggy!)

Saw many of these today

Llittle Sally car back home would love these roads and speed, but not the best speed for the fully loaded Prado and our fuel consumption!!

Welcome to the Northern Territory! First time we have ever been able to legally drive at 130 km/h on a road!

Arriving in Tennant Creek, we were surprised at what a big town it actually is, considering it only has a population of about 3000 people.

Will take a look around tomorrow, but for today we just checked into a cabin in one of the caravan parks for the night. After another 37 degree day, the thought of putting up the tent wasn't sounding that exciting ... whereas, the air con did!

Can you believe that my legs are still so sore from our lava tubes tour the other day! These poor muscles must still be in shock that they had to work so hard!!
