Alice Tourist Apartments In Alice Springs

... the one tiny aquifer that Alice Springs has tapped into will last 500 years.

I gained a new perspective for survival in the bush as well. For thousands of years the Aboriginals have used the plants, animals and soil to sustain life. At the ochre pits I saw colorful mineral deposits that can cure digestive problems. A certain tree produces a red resin under the bark that can be dried, mixed with water and then used as an ...

... aber sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Am Flughafen hatte ich bereits mehrere Fahrgelegenheiten in die Stadt und Visitenkarten falls ich Rat und Hilfe brauche. Als ich beim Hotel fragte wie lange ich zu Fuss in die Stadt benötige war die Antwort 25 Minuten, wenn ich will bringt sie mich aber in die Stadt (da habe ich natürlich nicht nein gesagt :-)). Etwas verwirrt hat mich eine ältere Dame die aufgrund meines Akzents gedacht hat ich sei Schotte… Was es nicht alles gibt ;-)

... transport system is fab and for a day tripper ticket costing only $17, you can hop on and off buses, trains and ferries across the city centre and the wider suburbs - so I did on several days. On one day I went to Bondi Beach in the morning, posting my last NZ episode from Macdonalds as wifi access is free, then coffee and baklava in the afternoon at a Greek kafenion in a very upmarket little enclave of Woolnarra, a haven of peace after the brashness of Bondi, a wander round the ...

Sometimes I finish work a bit late (as in I get back home at 7:30pm due to doing the 'close' shift at work, where I shut up shop for the day) and the other day I finally got back home after getting a puncture on my bike and after a really busy day to find a pile of washing up, clothes everywhere and no attempt at dinner, so I felt like I had to ...

... good chance at seeing some of it.

Our first few outings were to the very impressive West MacDonnell Ranges. The range runs for 400kms right through Alice Springs and provided a spectacular back drop from our caravan park. We drove right to the end of the West MacDonnell’s where we stopped to explore the Redbank Gorge. Walking up the dry river bed provided some pretty scenery, however we would not rate this one as a must see ...

... slot. Also it was a relief to know one of two cats were missing had been found, and that the local fire officials could cook a mean breakfast. Where would we have been without such awareness of current affairs during our visit there!?


Anyway to The Story of Opal....
We were ushered into the cinema room of the mining museum. Doors shut. lights out. waited. Waited some more. waited bit more. Hush of quiet runs through us all in ...

... headed back to the campsite where we prepared a gourmet stir-fry dinner under the guidance of Chef Wayno. Our group had the usual cast of characters: a young Frenchmen who hitchhiked the continent no matter how dangerous the route, an introverted Austrian family who claimed to be vegetarians but I didn’t buy it, an American who believed in the existence of land sharks and did her very best to perpetuate the ...

... with showers. Out of luck though (it was already full), we pushed on to Redbank Gorge. This turned out to be a blessing, as the campsites were far superior. Much more spacious and wild. No showers and no water, but luckily Munna's spirit of adventure was well in tact! So much so, that she volunteered to swag it outside, that night & every other night she camped. It was good swagging country to be sure, and no ...

... others I have seen and to say it is breathtaking does not do it justice. I am in heaven and have not experienced this reaction to landscape in my life. I am dumbstruck and awe-inspired. Katie, it makes me want to sketch my heart out!!! (and yes, I have finally started!)

Tom has been watching 'The Incredibles’ on dvd, it is the story of an ‘incredible’ super-powered family. The following is a conversation we had ...

... A lot of fun.

We generally only camped for one night in each place so it was a real treat to stay in Broome for two nights and not have to pack up in the morning. This was the furthest west we would go on this trip before turning east and onto the Gibb River Road. We all did different things on our free day but then met up at Cable Beach in the afternoon to watch the magnificent sunset with champagne and nibbles ...
