Wycliffe Well is between Tennant Creek and Alice Springs in the NT.
There are only a few permanent people that live there, travellers can't miss the building when driving on the Stuart Highway. There is accommodation, a small restaurant, take-a-way food, a few other items to be purchased along with Fuel for the vehicles if needed.
Wycliffe Well is a self-proclaimed UFO Capital of Australia. Apparently UFO sightings are common. There are newspaper clippings and images to persuade skeptic visitors.
The photos were taken of what greets you.
I love their sense of humor
ReplyDeleteHa! Don't we all.
DeleteSo much fun--- It reminds me of things I used to see in the 1950's when we'd be traveling in California or Nevada. Thanks for stopping by my site, and my compliments on your wonderful images.
ReplyDeleteThanks re images.
DeleteI expect many places in this world can and do claim seeing UFO's..it's fun!
Oh what fun.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what the aliens think about their display?
I wondered that too! I bet they are having a laugh....
DeleteNot what you would expect to find in such a remote place. I am sure it is a must stop place if there are children travelling with you.
ReplyDeleteNo it's not what one expects to find in the outback...but what fun!
DeleteI bet the children would have fun, which is good on such a long raps trip.
Interesting and unexpected scenery , amid of a total solitude .
ReplyDeleteKisses
I bet some nights the Aliens could be heard, it's so quiet!
DeleteThe good residents of Wycliffe Well may have had too much of the touch of sun
ReplyDeleteon these "alien" appearances.
There is a saying in the far north - "He/She has gone Troppo".
Anyhow if it gets the tourists to stop, then that is great for this little town.
Good on 'em and their "alien" mates.
Cheers
Colin
Oh it's a bit of fun. I do believe 'things' have been seem there a time or two :)
Deletewow I love your Ufo capital great idea..
ReplyDeleteSeems fun to have it right in that Roadhouse...it's far from anywhere..
DeleteDid you pop your heads through the alien figures and have your photos taken?
ReplyDeleteNo Rosemary, we didn't but should have.
DeleteOh, now that is not what I was expecting. But, now that the name Wycliffe resonates in my brain a little though, it does start to bring back a few UFO/ alien abduction stories.
ReplyDeleteHope you can remember those stories :)
DeleteWell that would be a surprise, do they have lots of stories to tell.
ReplyDeleteMerle........
Yes they do have a few to tell, with a smile :)
DeleteThese photos make me want to go there
ReplyDeleteOne day you might!
DeleteThat looks like a very interesting place, they certainly know how to play up to the tourists.
ReplyDeleteThey sure do, and if one of the staff has the gift of the gab, it's a good story :)
DeleteIsn't that fascinating? Out there in the middle of nowhere....what a joy it must be for travellers to come across it. :)
ReplyDeleteA surprise it is especially for the children, even adults enjoy the stories :)
