Well there goes our night on the town! Taking a roll down the main street, was a little confronting, security screens on many shop windows, and that wasn't for cyclones.

The flight from Alice to Tennent Creek was nice and short, only 2.5 hours, and just followed the highway up. I can go direct from Alice which saves around 20min but you cross tiger country (bush & scrub), and if the fan decides to stop, your a little screwed being so far from population. There were a couple of moments that the engine ran quite rough, but I think it was a bit of carburettor icng, where ice forms in the jet of the carburettor. It cleared up, but it gets your heart going, all the same. I rang up Jabiru for their opinion and they advised the same. I will see how it goes tomorrow, and yep following the highway again.
