So I took an appropriate shuttle, followed Roger Vale Drive until it merges with Stuart Highway ... ... passed the Kilgariff raceway towards Heavitree Gap, ... ... and reached the Tom Browne roundabout. Went north to the CBD around Hartley street... ... and found a suitable parking lot on ANZAC hill. Good overview from here. Got chopping and shopping again... ... before we spent a visit to the torrential Todd River, ... ... home of the famous Henley-on-Todd River Race each August: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henley-on-Todd_Regatta Enter your application here: http://henleyontodd.com.au/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure this is because of good reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teecee Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Great shots Gerold..lovely shots of a great little town. Believe it or not, I really can pick out the two houses that I lived in during my years in "The Alice" (and this is in Prepar3d v3.4). Terry.

A little bit of (Terry´s) OZx at the old airport, and a big bit of Orbx around the town. Fits totally to Google Earth... 21 hours ago, Jack Sawyer said: These are excellent Gerold, I never knew this town existed, I'm gonna have to go look for it. Unbelievable Jack! Don´t you own YBAS yet? It is sales time! And it is surrounded by amazing bush strips... 14 hours ago, teecee said: Great shots Gerold..lovely shots of a great little town.

If it is real life, the project is bigger for us non-Aussies... 16 hours ago, Captain Lars said: Wow, they even have an ANZAC hill!

Seems the Alice guys have taken the climate better into account while making their vehicle specifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
