In the morning we pack up and leave before 9 so we’re well in time for our appointment with the Truck Tyre mob. We arrive there just before 11 and after a set of problems that show their incompetence we leave close to 5 pm.

Meanwhile we have been able to do shopping, buy a new car battery, mail some post cards and do bank business. Highly dissatisfied with the Alice Springs Truck Tyre service we now lost our opportunity to go to Glen Helen and decide to stay at a camping 10 km out of Alice Springs in palace called White Gums.
The place is run by a grandma and her grad daughter (Rachel? Caroline?) who have a strange type of love and hate relationship. It’s kinda funny to watch and in the end we are able to get a site.
White Gums is located a few kilometer in the West MacDonnell Ranges and already the rock formations are beautiful.

Also for the first time we encounter various types of multi coloured birds. Up to now we have mainly seen Kites, Eagles, Cockatoos and magpies.
