We just rode the rails of the famous Ghan train for 26 hours. We enjoyed Gold Kangaroo Service - a private cabin with convertible twin bunks and ensuite bathroom and great food served on linen table cloths with real cutlery. We saw our first kangaroos and emus from the train. the only down side was it was air conditioned way too cold that necessitated sitting in jackets or blankets. We disembarked noonish in Alice Springs in 40+ degree temperatures. Rather than wait for luggage, our transfer ...

We've been in the West, the North and now the Middle of Australia on this trip. We haven't hit the very expensive restaurants but the medium level kind of places and a few bars and such. In each place, you might get a menu when you come into the establishment but then you go up to the bar or the podium, place your order, pay for it, tell them where you are sitting, and then go back and wait for your food and drinks to arrive. This was the case in Perth, Fremantle, Darwin, and now Alice Sprin...

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 we were trying to do it as economical as possible which meant s...

Ayers Rock? What if the romance of it like the Stonehenge was more the sizzle than the steak. Somehow the solitary figure of Princess Diana silhoutted against the background of Ayers Rock never left me I guess. As I surfed the net, I realized that the best way to go was to fly. The train from Adelaide was an overnighter and though a drive would be quite an adventure, the time would not permit. Then it was a matter of flying directly there or perhaps to Alice Springs. Alice Springs , the outba...

The Day in Alice Springs was spent primarily on a tour of the surrounding area, particularly two notable landmarks which we had flown over on our way in [No the CIA base was not one of them, I only violate national security once per vacation.] and the Royal Flying Doctor Service. First we visited the Royal Flying Dr. Service museum in town and had lunch. The Flying Dr. Service is an intricate part of allowing people to thrive in the remote "outback" of central Australia. The area is so remote...

The flight to Alice Springs From Uluru was one long leg. Despite this the views during this portion of the trip were incredible. We began doing the approved flight plan for aerial tours of Uluru and the Olgas. This is a proscribed flight path that traces a fairly complicated pattern between the two sites which are less then 20 miles apart. This trip allows one to have incredible views and photo opportunities of the two locations. . After the intensity of trying to stay on course through this ...

... the entire route and I did not see any civilization except for that one tiny town. Imagine being on a train that passes through just one tiny little speck on the map in 30 hours. <br><br>Don't knock Katherine though...Micky D's is coming soon so that is a Chamber of Commerce attraction to draw in those thousands of tourists. Now how can the parks and animals possibly compete with those Golden Arches? Seriously, it's impossible to outdo Ronald ...

... Luritja people, the traditional owners of the Wurre (Rainbow Valley) lived for hundreds of generations before the arrival of Europeans. The site has been left in its natural state. No signs, no handrails or fences to interrupt the experience of walking through this amazing place.<br> <br>As we walked away from the coach Ricky picked up a large stone with a distinctive smooth depression on its face. This was a grinding stone, used to grind up seeds into paste that was ...

... come to buy. There was some fantastic stuff on display and most of it sold, including a couple of pieces costing $30000+. You will have to take my word for its fabulousness as no photos are permitted of any works in galleries. My first roommate was very interesting- she was doing a PhD on Aboriginal Art and Abstraction so we had a really good chat about the art influences and development. She was off to live in one of the desert communities to spend time with the artists to get ...

... backpackers to pick up casual work in Alice, it'll literally take you just a couple of days. We were trying, albeit halfheartedly in Darwin & Kununurra (fruit-picking area & tourist hotspot) but there were so many other backpackers with the same idea that there were hardly any jobs left. I think that down here, people use the town as a stop over to get to their main destination of Uluru (Ayers Rock) so they don't think to ...
