Alice Springs to Ti Tree ...

Ti Tree is a town located on the Stuart Highway about 193 km north of Alice Springs. At the 2021 census, Ti Tree had a population of 88. It is the closest town to Alice Springs.

We farewelled our friends and then headed North from Alice Springs, making a quick stop at the Tropic of Capricorn, about 30km up the road.

I was very taken with all the gumnuts on one of the trees - just amazing!  We saw lots of changing vegetation as we travelled 95km to our next stop, which was Ryan's Well Historical Reserve.

The well was named after Ned Ryan, a stonemason who became an expert at sinking wells. 

As interesting as the well site was, my favourite part was watching a central netted dragon, busy catching ants next to the path!

We made another quick stop to see the Aileron Man (but liked the Woman more) - then checked into Ti Tree Roadhouse caravan park, about 200km North of Alice Springs. 

Mr Dog happily dozed on the grass, while Nick played and I cheffed.
