Left Alice today and drove to Devil’s Marbles. Gorgeous little campground in a gorgeous little place surrounded by the “marbles”. Feels so good to be away from the city and back into the bush. For some reason, it just lifts my heart to be out roughing it rather than in a caravan park. It has a real sense of freedom and you feel a lot more connected to nature. There’s a storm brewing tonight and its very muggy and hot… still around 30C. The moon is nearly full and backlights the clouds spectacularly. A little while ago there was a gap in the clouds and the moon shone through the middle making what looked like a night version of “god’s rays” with the rain reflecting the moonlight. Quite awe inspiring! We were having a conversation about how much better it felt to be out here than in a caravan park and Alex piped up and said, in a bewildered manner, “but the caravan park has a jumping pillow, a BMX track, a playground, showers and best of all, toilets with water that don’t stink!” he was perplexed as to why we’d rather bush camp than caravan park it. I guess a lot of people would be. But for me, give me nature any day!
