Gosse Bluff
Yep, it's a very big hole in the ground, but it used to be even bigger. About 142,000,000 years ago this comet was cruising in the neighbourhood and decided to pay NT a quick visit. Unfortunately it got all caught up in the gravity and created a very big bang with a hole to match. When the comet impacted with the earth (it did melt, so there is nothing left of it) the surrounding area was 2 klms higher and what is left today is but the bottom. Still very impressive. It is 5 klms across on the inside and the walls tower above the surrounding countryside. This pic was taken from 12 klms away.

The West MacDonnell Ranges are truly breath taking and I don't know if any of the pic will do it justice, but I will pick out the best and put them up over the next couple of days. We have retreated to Alice (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH) for a couple of days as I have come down with a lergy and it doesn't seem to be getting any better. Might have something to do with 37 on day and 6 the next.

Hopefully we will get out of here on Wednesday and head on down the highway to Urulu. more on that tomorrow.

What a great Grand Final it was and credit must go to the Saints for taking it up to the Cats, but in the end the better team triumphed.
Hawks for premiers 2010.
