This is a view from a hill at the back of the Claypans, Crown land about 10 minutes out of Alice Springs. Even my Morris Minor can make it here! It’s a good spot to find bush medicine and to come when you’ve just got a bit of time. If you look east you see houses on 5 acre blocks, but if you look West there’s little sign that the country has changed over thousands of years. The blue haze of the mountains draws the eye out towards Honeymoon Gap. You can imagine jumping off and flying out towards Ntaria (Hermannsburg) one of the oldest and largest permanent settlements in Central Australia. We’ve helped people to get home on dialysis there for about 8 years now. I love the contrasts between the hills, the plains, the spikey spinifex and the ochre shades of the pebbles on the slopes.
