Blatherskite Park, Alice Springs, our camp site, while in the Alice.

8/1/2021

Blatherskite Park, is just off the Stuart Highway on the South side of Alice Springs, just prior to the Heavytree Gap where the main Stuart Highway narrows to single lanes, as it, the famous Ghan train line and the mostly dry, Fink River bed, passes through the small natural Gap between the Western and Eastern Mac Donnell Ranges.

The town of Alice Springs is on the Northern side of Honeymoon Gap.

Blatherskite Park is the venue for many of Central Australia’s large, outdoor events, the Alice Springs Show, on the first Friday and Saturday in July, and the Imparja Camel Cup, held one week later.

Many extra large touring vehicles, the large motor homes with trailers, travelers unable to fit into the average caravan park, may apply in advance for permission to stay at the park.

The scenery is so beautiful throughout your travels. I can see where you get so much of your inspiration. Isn't it great when nature can not only be the inspiration but also the motivation to keep going every day doing what you love. I am so glad you are enjoying your travels. xx

Open Mystery

Ruth Randall's novel "A Judgement in Stone," opens with this line.
"Eunice Parchman killed the Coverdale family because she could not read or write."
In open mystery novel, the reader knows who the murderer is, from the beginning; the mystery is why, and how, they did it, and if they will be caught.
In The Stolen Years series of novels, the reader has a view of who commits many of the crimes. There is plenty of suspense while no one else suspects who the murderer is.
