Hermannsburg and Cold! Cold! Cold!
It is freezing and windy this morning – I did not know it
could be this cold when the sun was out.
I spent a couple of hours looking around the Hermannsburg Historic
Precinct.

This was the first mission in Australia and was set up by the Lutheran Church in the 1870’s, there are a number of buildings remaining with some still in use as private residences. They have a collection of Hermannsburg watercolours, dot paintings and beautiful Hermannsburg pottery. These are gorgeous decorative pottery containers painted with scenes of nature with the lids created as figurines of something from the scene, usually a bird or animal. https://hermannsburgpotters.com.au/
We drove into Alice Springs this afternoon and did a mountain of laundry. This afternoon the temperature topped at 13 degrees with 40km/hour winds – it was freezing!! We are camped tonight at Tropic of Capricorn Rest Area.
