Update from Alice Springs.  We have been here since Thursday and haven't really done much except clean up etc. and hang about so we are itching to get going again. Dennis and Kaye arrived back from Tennant Creek on Monday (yesterday) and intended to begin their spruce up/catch up today.  Unfortunately, Dennis fell off his ladder this morning and ended up having a ride in the ambulance to the hospital where they X Rayed him etc etc.  He has a stable fracture of the lower spine so is somewhat uncomfortable.  The docs. recommend 4/5 days rest then they will slowly make their way home.  As there doesn't appear to be anything else we can do to assist them we will continue on tomorrow.  Our plan is to go to Old Ambilundum Station which is past Arltunga (East MacDonnells) and in the Ruby Gap area for 3/4 days then go via a night at Tilmouth Well on the Tanami to Newhaven Sanctuary.  Thence back to Alice to restock etc.
