ALICE SPRINGS TO TENNANT CREEK
We have travelled this stretch of road so often and yet we have never specifically caught up with many of the historical markers. They are not all here but most.
Warburton Range in Western Australia was named after this man. It is the location of the old United Aborigines Mission (UAM) "Warburton Ranges", known to John's family and visited by his father in the trip to WA for the mission that ended with a heart attack and his death in Perth.
The sculpture of the Almatjere Man is the work of local artist Mark Egan. It was erected in 2005 to attract tourists to the town.
Grape growing near Ti-Tree and the man who started growing them.
The present well was built in the mid 1880s to provide water on the north-south stock route and support of the overland telegraph. It was a surprise to learn from the information plaque that around 1930 Annie Lock had a camp here. Annie Lock was the UAM missionary who worked initially at Ooldea then established UAM work at Oodnadatta.
