In this episode, we continue our journey along the Red Centre Way, navigating the heavily corrugated Menindee Loop all the way to Ellery Creek. Unfortunately, since it was early in the season, the Menindee Loop hadn't been graded yet, resulting in a very bumpy ride until we finally reached the black-top. After arriving late in the afternoon at Ellery Creek Big Hole Campgrounds, we were pleasantly surprised to have the entire place to ourselves! Ellery Creek is absolutely stunning, and after enduring a hot day in the car, we truly deserved a refreshing swim.
The next morning, we set off on the Ellery Creek Dolomite Circuit, a 2.5km grade 3 hike located in the West MacDonnell National Park. Continuing our journey, we headed up the Stuart Highway towards Alice Springs when, unfortunately, the Menindee Loop finally took its toll. This marked the first time, in over three years of travel, that we found ourselves arriving at a caravan park in a tow truck!
Enjoy! 😊

My wife and I traveled Australia for years in a old converted bus and was insured with CMCA ( caravan and motor homes association ) and they cover both caravans and motor homes for everything. Are now living in Darwin for the last 20 years and looking forward to being back on the road in 4 years

Yeh, i gave club 4x4 an ear full about it, the caravan park was only 10 mins from the mechanic too. We would love to get a bus, there are some epic bus setups out there! Maybe see you on the road some day,! 👍👍😀😀🍻

Yup, we could only spend a short time there as we had to get up to Darwin for work, but the small taste we got meant we will definitely be back for a longer stint! Safe travels. 🍻🍻👍👍😀

Fortunately it was just bolts sheared off a wheel is that right? When we were told our new caravan will be ready soon I rang Club 4x4 for a insurance quote. Mmm, what an experience that was on the phone. Spoke to a young lady who sounded like this might be her first week on the job and also showed very little politeness to me. Well the quote was emailed and it was twice as much and next most expensive quote I got out of the 5 quote.

Yup, just the sheared wheel nuts and destroyed the rotors when it failed too. Being a cruiser there was heaps of parts available in Alice so only 24 hours in the shop. Unfortunately Club 4x4 were the only company i could find who would insure all the extra car modifications so i think I'm stuck with them! 🍻🍻

Good to see ur post again. Breakdowns in Aus must be way expensive now. But as you said, probably carries a few mechanics thru the quiet times, Ben & co. A suggestion - lose the sat nav voice......and the bad - negative thubnails ie why did we break. 25 yrs in a buddhist culture has taught me shit happens Thanks

Thanks for the feedback, interestingly i made a few different thumbs, the first was a beautiful shot of Ellery Creek Gorge which was what i wanted to go with. Then for some reason went for a more "click bait' version, probably not really that true to what we usually do. 👍👍
