We stopped at the Tropic of Capricorn where it explained that Australia was attached to Antarctica 50 million years ago before it broke away.
We also stopped at a roadhouse at Aileron where there were sculptures of aboriginals on the hills.
I also saw a wedgetale eagle in a cage; apparently a man said that they can live up to 85 years.

This was another long drive with alot of straight stretches with mirages at the end. However, some of the roadhouses had some interesting things to see to break up the trip.  We decided to head for a popular free camp located in the Camps 5 book marked 28; via Ti Tree and Barrow Creek.  Holy cow!  There must have been around 40 vans parked by the time we arrived at about 5 ish?
