4x4 driving behind the Transport Hall of Fame to see the sun set & Pine Gap at night

On Friday 15th September we (Pauline & Ray, Christine & John) in one car and Ted & Robyn our tail end Charlie's, with the air in the tyres let down to 25psi we headed out around 5.10pm.
Very dusty for the two cars behind us, until we started to climb up the hill which is very rocky & to be taken quite slowly.  The first hill we came to was short but steep, so we took it one at a time with each car being called up when the next one was on the top.  This happened several times until Drew  chose a spot where we could actually see Pine Gap and the West McDonell ranges.
Everyone set up their chairs, eats (cheese, biscuits, cold meats & drinks) none of the drivers drank, but Christine and myself did not drink as well.  After a ton of photos were taken the sun set quite quickly.  Robyn & Ted took their little dog Pip up with them and he thought he was in paradise lots of smells from different wildlife.  As the sun went down we saw the lights come on at Pine Gap.
