Alice Springs
... . Uluru was as fantastic as we imaginged as was Kings Canyon. The walks were hard work but well worth the effort. Alice Springs is an odd place, alcohol is a real issue with the Aboriginals and the government have made it hard for them to buy ...
Dingo Girl at Ormiston Gorge
We headed further west beyond Hermannsburg before turning north into the West MacDonnell Ranges. The road here was a weird mixture of really crappy, heavily-corrugated dirt interspersed with sections of immaculate bitumen. The view ...

The end of the road (trip)
... We got out of the car and ambled around the centre to get our bearings, with the undead in tow. Alice Springs sits almost exactly in the centre of Australia, either side of a mountain range called the MacDonnell Ranges, which spans a 640km ...
Cairns - Alice Springs

Oct 5, 05 (Wednesday)--Still Continued
We had time to relax a little in the afternoon back at the Holiday Park. I washed a load of clothes at the laundromat and jumped in a pool to cool off. Then we were off to ride a camel to dinner. The first group, about 12 camels with 2 riders, left as ...
Oop to Darwin on the legendary Ghan
