ALICE SPRINGS TO ADELAIDE - 13 days / 12 nights HIGHLIGHTS: Coober Pedy, opal mining, Oodnadatta track, Flinders Ranges National Park, Clare Valley Vineyards 2009 Departure Date: 18-30 October Day 1 Departing Alice Springs, we head out past the airport and onto a wide, dirt road that takes us to Santa Teresa, a community nestled into the rocky range. Passing through you will see the famous white cross standing high above the town. From here, the road begins to weave its way through the Eastern MacDonnell Ranges, with spectacular rocky outcrops coming close to the track. The country begins to open up and you'll notice the red sand as we begin to skirt the western edge of the Simpson Desert. Low lying sand dunes run parallel to the track, peppered with desert vegetation and spinifex. Lying amongst the sand dunes is Old Andado Station, the home of bush pioneer Molly Clark, which is listed on the Heritage register and lovingly preserved in its original condition. The beauty and harshness of the surrounding country is personified in this place. We spend the night camping here at Old Andado under a blanket of stars. (LD) Day 2 Jump on your bikes this morning as we head over the sand dune and into the second day of our adventure! Today's adventure takes us through the Finke River Forest, the aboveground evidence of the ancient underground river system. There's plenty of opportunities to cycle today and take in your remote surrounds. The vegetation changes quite dramatically throughout the day and you may even pass a mob of cattle lazing around a bore pump. Our stop for tonight is Mt Dare, a little place that's great for a beer or two and to listen to the yarns of other travellers everyone has their story to tell! A former cattle station, the entire property was take over by National Parks and Wildlife in 1984, and the original station homestead was retained as a service to travellers. Now a hotel, Mt Dare is also fuel stop, a place to stock up
