Our last day! No rush to get up and go so we savored the early morning fire and most were looking forward to a bed, a hot shower and toilet that we knew were waiting for us at the end of the dayl! We made several stops in the West MacDonnell National Park ranges to see beautiful gorges and swimming holes. Several went in the water at Redbank Gorge, but Mike and I were waiting for it to warm up and we finally tooke the plunge at Ellery Creek Bighole where the water temperature was sooooo cold (we're guessing about 50 degrees) it literally took your breath away!!! After a few more stops on our last one was at the two trees Numajare painted as a landscape portrait. He was the first aborigine to paint an object as seen looking at it straight on, rather than from above looking down as was they way aborigines viewed things. At that point, we were only a few miles from Alice Spings and Toddy's where we were spending the night before flying out. We said our goodbyes and hugged everyone and then we were off! Only to see each other again, one more time, at dinner that night. It was a great ending to a wonderful trip. We all agreed we wouldn't have missed it for anything.
