Tennant Creek to Mataranka



The Larrimah Hotel, the highest pub in NT.



The Mail is still a little slow here.



The Daly Waters Pub was a welcome relief for everyone. This is a must see place.



If you thought that I sat in the van all day then you be pleased to know that I am also capable of saving precious flora and fauna from bushfire. This one started about 1 kilometre from a service station.
Stuart and I saved the day ( he is a member of the RFS )Truth be known it might have burnt it self out any how, but it was getting a bit windy so we did the right thing.
please note my safety fire fighting foot wear.




The film crew and I headed out early from Tennant Creek to catch some bikes heading out.
Had lunch at Daly Waters, a pub full of character, a must see if you get the chance,
also stopped at Larimah Hotel, has a small zoo there.
All bikes arrived safely at Mataranka Homestead and most people went down the thermal springs for a refreshing dip

From the Riders -
For those who are Seinfeld Fans we have renamed some of the roads the Seinfeld highway (highway "about nothing").
you really need to get to the little communities along the side of the road and explore there history & stories.
On this leg we refueled at a town called Elliot (not Alice), grabbed a toasted sandwich and cuppa then the guy there says lucky you weren't here 2 days ago as they topped 46 deg out the back of there shop, **ck.
Anyhow off we went to Mataranka.
