130km/h to the Devils Marbles - Halls Creek to Alice Springs

In the next part of our adventure, we drive from Halls Creek to Alice Springs. Originally planning to do this via the Tanami Highway / Tanami Road / Tanami Track, we decide to go the long way round due to poor road conditions, making the most of the Northern Territory's 130km/h speed limit on major highways... which we soon discover has a bit of a downside.

130km/h in a lifted Landcruiser must be quite an experience! No Office Works in Alice Springs, but I spotted a Bunnings. Was it a weekend? Was there a sausage sizzle?

Honestly it felt barely different to doing 110. Wouldn't have gone a huge amount faster if the speed limit was even higher, but it handled it fine. Aside from burning 18L/100km because having all that stuff on the roof provides a lot of drag at that speed. Yes, there was a Bunnings - but the day we arrived in Alice was Tuesday, so there wasn't a sausage sizzle going on.
