As you approach Tennant Creek, you see a number of signs; "Tennant Creek,Desert Oasis", "Tennant Creek, Heart of Gold" Tennant Creek, Desert Harmony" etc etc. Tennant Creek is a sadder hole than the last time we stayed and if we'd thought about it, we'd have driven straight through to Three Ways Road House or Banka Banka Station.
We were here about 10 years ago and stayed in quite a nice park, but decided to try the other one this time and without really looking at our neighbours settled in. The community next door must have been having a Royal Wedding Party (or any excuse for a party more like it) They yelled and screamed, raced cars up the road, we heard what sounded like gun shots and police sirens all until around 1am. Then at 5am kids were up screaming their heads off. I'm exhausted right now after our drive to Bitter Springs.
There was quite a lot of water around and the roads are a bit chopped up after the rain and floods. Bitter Springs is really knocked about-the beautful underwater garden has been washed away and the water clarity is not so crystal clear. Still pleasantly warm though.
We are here for 3 nights so I plan to swim often while Russ can fish and try to catch us a few red-claw yabbies.
