From Darwin to Alice Springs

Oct. 31, 2005 - From Darwin to Alice Springs

After we landed the day before we had to undergo the australian quarantine procedures we were supposed to park the plane at an other parking zone. Again the engine would not start. A joint had broken of and the very next day we could have the plane fixed. We took off late that day. Our flight was 7,5 hours long. First we started towards the north. The landing strip on this picture is twenty miles away from Darwin International Airport. If you look closely you can see the parked Cessna at the lower end and the two big trees in the middle of the landing strip.

We crossed the Tanami Desert. This was the longest routes without any trace of man.
