24 July - Wycliffe Well to Elliot

Morning tea saw us at Tennant Creek overland telegraph station.

Drove through (as we all would) and at the end of town we turned down a road without any signage that ended at a large lake teeming with bird life. We knew about the lake from research and contacts.

We set up camp beside the lake and were entertained all afternoon by non-stop fly pasts of 100s of birds, including cormorants of various varieties, pelicans and kites. That evening we enjoyed the warm night air beside our first campfire.
