Bond Springs Station - B&B Alice Springs

... in the spinefax grass and all sorts of biting ants abound. Even the spinefax (pronounced spin a fax) will cause bodily harm with its spikes that both scratch and eventually cause temporary paralysis. So many varieties of scorpions and spiders are out there as well and if all this creepy crawler **** doesn't get the careless, the sun and dehydration will. Maneuvering around the Outback requires great care but the rewards are ...

... did feature his gold death mask – nothing will top that. I spent most of my time in the Indigenous culture section and at the exhibit of current Indigenous sculptures featur8inmg works in all media – they were both excellent and some really moving stories in relation to the Stolen Generation – shaming that white European ‘Christian’ society thought it appropriate to remove "half- caste” children in order to bring them up as European settings -yes ...

... entlang, bis wir auf das Billabong stiessen. Der Wind pfiff ordentlich durch die enge Schlucht. Dann folgte eine schoene Wanderung im Stanley Chasm.

Unser Mittagessen hatten wir in Form von Sandwiches in dem kleinen Cafe organisiert. Jeder machte den Spaziergang im eigenen Tempo und genoss den ...

Just thought I'd upload a few photos of my little furry friends from work (and others that are not quite so furry!). The good thing about my working hours is that I finish at 4pm, so I get to wander round the park for free after I've finished. Sometimes I join our free workshops and wildlife talks (like desert survival, basket weaving or bushtucker foods) but most of the time I visit the ...

... Anzac Hill provides a 360 degree view of the town, and helps one get their bearings as to where everything is. Alice Springs is well serviced with all modern conveniences, we spent a day wandering the streets and also shopping in the Todd Mall. I would place high odds on betting that the town has more art galleries per capita than any other town in the world. If you want to purchase Aboriginal art or craft, then this is where you should ...

... as the screen slides away to reveal our guide in a specially designed booth to allow demonstration of how opal is prepared once mined (no expense is spared!!). (Adam and I hang our heads in shame given our blatant disrepect of the film - how long had she been there we wonder. had she heard our mocking? let that be a lesson to us - sadly however, it is not). The demonstration is another treat! Our guide is a star! The demonstration booth is set so far ...

... wide open! (Serious) injury #2 of our trip. It was a mess, but nothing much could be done except ice blocks and cuddles.

Next day, we explored Kathleen Springs & Kings Canyon. It was truly beautiful and I was very impressed with the Kings Canyon rim walk. Tops views!

From there, we continued to Uluru. I'm not sure who eventually saw it first (was it M or Munna?) but we were all impressed with our ...

... travellers” that the freshies are not at all aggressive unless you upset them by treading on their toes!

Half way along the Gibb River Road we turned north and took an even more isolated and unmaintained road towards Mitchell Plateau and Kalumburu which is the most northerly part of Western Australia. It was 200k of very rough corrugations, interspersed with long rocky sections, bull dust and dry as well as ...

... memories were of a dull and dismal place. Either my memories were wrong or they have done a lot to it as we were impressed with the feel of the city. There are 17 patrolled beaches, a very pretty harbour and Gong is unique for having 2 lighthouses.

One day we walked about 5kms along the beach into the city, passing a lovely 50m and 25m ocean pool where local residents and surf life ...

... et meie eestlastega kokku saime, kusjuures nad m6lemad on R'i klassikaaslased. V2isasime p6hilisi turismiobjekte ning avastasime enda r66muks suurep2rased shoppinguv6imalused. Kui sel ajal oli Shanghais ohtralt myygil jopesid ja mantleid, siis Sydneys leidsime l6puks suveriideid. L6puks ometi sain omale kaunid suvekleidid, mida olen seni pidanud erinevatest riikidest otsima, ilma erilise 6nneta. Seega tasub siia igal juhul tulla tyhja kohvriga, sest ...
