Wintersun Caravan Park Alice Springs

... to make it and that I should start heading back!!! Then i though to myself, that it was take as much energy to get back down and also I am only 28 years of age and should be fit enopugh to finish, despite of a fondness for fried food!!! So i kept going and dinally made it to the top!!!! And, let me tell you, it was dinitivly worth it! The views from the Rim of the Canion were amazing! <br><br>The majority of the ground up there is covered with massive domes of rock that ...

... carrying a large towel wrapped bundle. We go out into the beautiful eternal city and walk for hours carrying those stupid bundles of laundry and trying to follow directions given that we couldn't understand and then ask passerbys for more directions we couldn't understand. We never, ever found anyplace to wash our clothes ourself or have someone do it for us. Finally we sat on the curb with our laundry beside us and realized ...

... with Tracey's great aunt and uncle who have a smallholding there. So were enjoying the high life down on a chicken farm in the back of beyond....wonderful (seriously were having a great time here).<br><br>We'll update with photo's next time. Were in the public libabry in the Clare Valley and i've forgot to bring the camera cables. Its New Zealand next so we'll update you all then.

... pris la direction de Wilpena Pound pour faire un hicking pour « homme ». Non pas que la distance était impressionnante en soi (5,6km), mais le dénivelé nécessitait parfois nos deux mains pour gravir les passages abruptes. Ce petit 2h30 de bushtrecking (terme australien signifiant de la randonnée) fut de loin, la plus épuisant à date, et le barbecue du midi fut grandement apprécié par les motivés comme moi qui avait pris l&#8217;option de cette randonnée versus celle ...

... travel tomorrow I'll never know, coz its 6pm here now and I still have to reorganise and pack Queenie, do shopping, tidy the house and walk the dog! Argh!<br> Nico's crashed out on the sofa and the dog is licking Nico's toes, but Nico is so comatosed he hasn't noticed! It was a good send off though, even if we do end up staying an extra night on a campsite to try and get organised!

... eine Grundausstattung an Medikamenten, die er dann verabreicht..<br><br> <br><br>Das groesste Klassenzimmer der Welt - School of the Air<br>Von hier werden 167 Schueler auf einer Flaeche von 1,300.000 km2 !!! unterrichtet.<br>Der Unterricht erfolgt heute mit Internet, frueher mit Funk und Telefon.<br><br><br><br> <br>Dann waren wir im Alice Reptile Center ...

... cruises and just took a transfer to Katherine Gorge National Park. And let me just tell everyone back home you have no idea what extremes I go through to bring you the ends of the earth! <br><br>At the park's visitor center I got cursed out by a middle age Scottish couple whom I somehow offended with my American politeness. Whatever it was they were trying to ask still eludes me and I had only nicely told them, "I am sorry. I cannot understand what ...

... 8211; those further afield told them to get over it as that was what they live through on a regular basis but when your normally spotless and shiny 4 WD actually gets covered in up country dust it must have been very distressing!<br><br>I spent over a week in Sydney staying with a friend from school who is a doctor living and working in the eastern suburbs .A lot of time was spent catching up, sharing wine and stories and meeting with her friends and family &#8211; that was good ...

... on the caravan park, much to Jav's delight. He has already put an order in for one for his 45th birthday (given the cost of them it might have to wait til his 50th) and he managed to wangle a ride on one (using Charlie as a ploy).<br><br>Jav (true to form) bumped into an old Broken Hill school friend at the front gates of the van park so we have had a few drinks with Sean and his wife. He also caught up with a workmate from Adelaide who works up here at the Gap now ...

... pools at Mataranka, and then rewarded ourselves with a drink at the most remote pub, Daly Waters. We also stopped off at an Aboriginal art gallery and had a go at our own dot paintings - much harder than it looks! Me mostly slept in permanent tents but also had a couple of nights in a good old Ozzie swag, which is just like a big sleeping bag with a sleeping mat in the bottom. They are surprisingly comfortable and warm and I didn&#8217;t see a single snake or creepy ...
