Only 2500 km away from the state capital this settlement has most amenities with two roadhouses, a self-serve 24-hour diesel station, supermarket, post office, newsagent, clothes shops, accommodation, mechanics, electricians, plumbers, cafes and restaurants.

Fitzroy Crossing also has a swimming pool and a grassed Aussie Rules football oval. Like Alice Springs this meeting point of cultures has lead to vibrancies in Aboriginal life, along with the common problems.

Lovely shots of areas well known to me and not too much changed from a few decades back - great P38 paint as well!

Thanks for your comment TT. Those lucky ones who have seen the world - and there is enough left. At least we have our simmed one.
