Notes The team left the Mount Garnet Rodeo and headed toward Alice Springs. Crossing the Kennedy Developmental Road, the team watched the landscape change from coastal cover to dry scrub. The team made a quick stop at Porcupine Gorge (similar to our Grand Canyon, sort of) before continuing on into the night and camping in the outback. (N.O.)

Help support our cause: The LONGITUDE Expedition is the longest journey ever attempted with a focus on Parkinson's Disease. The Drive Around the World team aims to raise money for Parkinson’s Disease research by driving four certified pre-owned Land Rover Discoverys around the globe following lines of longitude. Readers are encouraged to pledge small amounts of money per expedition-kilometer via a pledge form that can be found on our Parkinson’s page by clicking here. 100% of donations received go directly to Parkinson's research and all who donate $10 or more will be entered into a raffle to win an expedition-equipped Land Rover Discovery.
