G'Day Mate Tourist Park Alice Springs

... got up at 4.50 am to see the sun rise over Kata Tjuita(the olgas). There are a second rock formation 45 kms from Uluru and are pretty spectacular! THe name means many heads and they compose of a number of rock domes, the highest of which is actually taller that Ayres Rock! We had breakfast there and then headed to walk the vally of the winds! It is a 7.5 km trek through the domes! It was pretty amazing as you got to walk between the domes and see some amazing scenery!<br ...

In 1992, my daughter and I took off for an extended tour around Europe. We were meeting my husband in various cities when he could take the time off work to meet us. This was our first big trip and we were not experience travelers. This was also a time when airlines allowed you to take more luggage with you so we each had a lot of clothes we were hauling around with us. And it was also when we didn't have a whole lot of money so ...

... a gorge below.<br> <br> Further along Larapinta Trail is Ellery Creek Big Hole which is a permanent water hole and great place for swimming. Our last stop was Ormiston Gorge where the gorge curls around the enclosed Ormiston Pound. We made our way to Alice Springs and spent 2 nights here. Alice Springs is a very friendly, outback town with 20% Aboriginal population. We spoke to some locals who had been living there for over 20 years. They love their town, Alice. <br>

... le bus), on arrive à notre lieu où nous allons coucher pour les deux prochaines nuits. Après un diner fajitas (remplis de n&#8217;importe quoi comme des betteraves et des pois - ça doit être une version australienne), nous avons pris la direction de la montage « The Dutchmen Stern» qui fait partie du Flinders Range National Park pour un hicking d&#8217;une dizaine de kilomètres. Assez abrupte comme petite côte, mais intéressante par son « wildlife » tout au long du ...

... to cheesy German Europop but at 9:30 there was announcement that we were over an hour early and would be in Alice Springs in 15 minutes. We got off and collected our bags. It was cooler here than in Katherine, ONLY 35 degrees at 10am!<br><br>3 of us got the shuttle bus to the hostel where we dumped our bags. Tina (a Finnish girl who had been on the train) and I walked the 5 minutes over the dried up Todd River to the centre of ...

... gentle and sloping while different parts are craggy and steep and the shapes change as you circle it. <br>On our long way back to civilization we stopped for a camel ride in the desert. Good fun. <br>Back in Alice we all washed off the red dust and sand and met up for food and drinks at the Rock Bar. Had Kangaroo for the first time and actually quite liked it. <br>Sleeping in a bed without being covered in red dust never felt so good than that night. <br><br>

... My mom always told us fish and company stink after two days and man was she right. The scenery was just mile after mile after mile after mile of endless scrubby bush landscapes under the bluest, most pollution free sky I have ever seen. Two red kangaroos came bouncing by the track at one point and that right there made the whole trip worth it. I was hoping to see more but the train obviously spooks them. <br><br>Speaking of roos, I learned some ...

... acoustic and electronic. There was audience participating on click sticks, shakers, and drums. It was quite a show. <br><br>The shops also include some good galleries showing aboriginal art. "Good" means both that the art is of high quality, is crafted by aboriginal artist, and that the gallery is managed to fairly compensate the aboriginal artists. <br><br>

... message from Di telling us to try MacDonnell Range caravan park rather than the one she and the girls were booked in to. We had been told MacDonnell Range was the best and we weren't disappointed. We have a lovely site with a cement slab surrounded by grass and we are located directly next to the amenities block and one of the two playgrounds. The kids have loved it here with two playgrounds, two jumping pillows and three swimming pools at their disposal (yes - Lucy did ...

... market which was fantastic and the deckchair cinema where you sit outside&#8230; on deckchairs! <br><br>I then booked myself on a 9 day tour from Darwin to Alice springs. We spent 3 days in Litchfield and Kakadu national parks which were beautiful. I actually timed it really well with the weather as it was dry but not too humid. The &#8216;build up&#8217; begins in September/October time where the humidity just rises and rises causing some people to go a little crazy ...
