Left early for the 915km trek from the backpackers in Alice Springs to Daly Waters….
Stopped at the character-filled, beautifully clean and friendly Barrow Creek Hotel to fill up with fuel and met the lovely Manager and her cat ‘Tiger’, plus the very kind and friendly duo of Bazza and Karina who were assisting with maitenance.
Travelled on to be soon, utterly awestruck, with Devils Marbles rock formations….
Then stopped 10kms past of Tennant Creek town where I found a great picnic spot in Threeways Caravan Park….
Then onwards to Daly Creek Historic township, to stay the night at the local Daly Waters Historic pub – now THAT is a true gem of a town… full of memorabilia…. and discovered that Daly Waters airfield used to be the main fuel refill for planes on their way to Singapore ie. was Australia’s first International airfield!
Finished the day with meeting a truly lovely lady – Mel – caring for an orphaned Joey called Chris!!
There is many photos – see more below……

SOLO: BY SPECIAL REQUEST – The Power of Love ♥️💜♥️💜🙏🏻😇 – I was asked by a very dear friend to sing this piece. Please wear headphones for sound balance phones as this is a Smule recording (not studio balance or engineered – just pure voice, sung in one take, without altering the fundamental vocal abilities). This song is sung for for the Amazon & Africa jungles that are burning, and the Australia’s GBR – the precious air, earth, water, oceans, and all the precious animals and birds, for without, our lives will be diminished and even, removed.

In early May 2014, JCD and a group of teachers went to the desert of UAE and enjoyed an overnight Safari expedition.
A fairly shy person in my private life, this video footage was filmed by one of the staff during a recent stay for recuperation at The Ayurgruham Ayurveda Hospital.
(truly, a fab effort and lovingly put together work done by Rich Pulin; and sent to me via emails the past few months).

Gosh, what a ride! Its been a packed six weeks – where has the time fled…! For me, picking up the iPhone 5 camera and getting out and about has been a challenge (*chuckle!*) – yes, my little film insights were a welcome reprieve from the working life.

I am so grateful.
Having been in the UAE for just five days, I truly can say, this is a gracious country. So many people from all over the world reside here; and the impression is one of a hard-working, polite, and very friendly country.
