  1 I borrowed a mates Ford XD Falcon and trailer and loaded my Honda XR250 to take on a Christmas excursion. |
 2 Where am I??? |
 3 We traveled along the Eastern MacDonnell Ranges to the small settlement of Ross River, 87 km (55 miles) east of Alice Springs. |
 4 Christmas 1991 was spent in and around this cabin. |
 5 The cabin was one of several offered by Ross River Resort. |
 6 The cabins were quite reasonable, even though you had to share with the local wildlife. In this case it was a Gecko. |
 7 As I said, they weren't real big, but they were air-conditioned and comfortable. |
 8 Camel rides were optional. |
 9 You had to be alert while driving as calving season was in full swing. As you can see, they are hard buggers to find. |
 10 This is the entrance way to one of the gorges. |
 11 Look out, nature shot. |
 12 Fancy leaving a perfectly good working woman out here! |
 13 Strolling around in the scrub again. |
 14 Out on the XR. |
 15 I got dressed in "Territory Tuxedo" (jeans & a T-shirt) for dinner. |
 16 Dinner time! |
 17 We be chillin'!!! |
 18 Get the $%@& out of here with that camera. |
 19 Some locals on the move. |
 20 The baby camel seems to be delighted on going for a stroll with it's mum. |
 21 Christmas dinner. It was a pig on the spit and no, it was not the baby camel. |
 22 Pink cockatoo's, more commonly called "Galah's" squawking in a gum tree. |
 23 White cockatoo's, better known as Major Mitchell's, living in some of the huge bird cages at Ross River. |
 24 "Pssst. Want to hear a secret?" |
