... now from the swine flu. As we both think we had the "piglet" flu earlier in the Czech Republic, we should have tons of antibodies.<br> After also finding a used book store to stock up on reading material for Ayers Rock, we were on our way to the airport. My husband had stated that he was pretty sure they let you into the airport with water because it ...

... 6 am the next morning we were on the road determined to get a good start on our trek across the famous Nullarbor Plain. Anyone that has traveled this very long, very straight road, knows there is not much to see for hundreds of kilometres except the passing of road trains. Road houses are scattered every 200 &#8211; 300 km's. The longest &#8220;straight&#8221; stretch of road in Australia is between Balladonia and Caiguna and it measures 146 km's. We paid the ...

... tiens la deuxième position de tous les temps de ce classique qui termine ce six jours dans le outback. Le soir venu, nous sommes tous été manger dans un bar du coin avec nos deux guides. Nos deux prochaines journées de repos à Alice Springs seront le bienvenu considérant les nuits ont été courtes.<br><br>Jour 16 et 17 :<br><br>En terme de ville, Alice Springs est rien d&#8217;exceptionnel &#8211; si ce n&#8217;est que le point de chute pour les différentes attractions ...

... amazing. <br>This storm made our camping very interesting! We were meant to stay at a campground with facilities this second night, so we lucked out! We had showers and toilets! We also had an overhang roof type thing with a LONG table down the center underneath it. Well after dinner when it was time to find spots to sleep, guess who had their swag laid out ON the table! ME! I knew it was going to get doggy dog to find space, so I actually picked the best spot! Other ...

... the park , this was a first for us , but e had no choice so we had to pay.<br><br>At night we caught up with some friends that we met earlier on our tour, a lot of people travel in the same direction and you get the chance to talk about what you have seen in the last couple of days.<br><br>The next morning we got fuel and food to make the trip to Ayers Rock , about 450km south west of Alice.

... swollen belly kids we could adopt from those Sally Struthers commercials about feeding the children. Yes, you could receive a picture and monthly update the rest of your life rather than a 3 day one time journey. Oh the possibilities are endless.<br><br>But your time on here isn't endless and you are here to read about The Ghan so here goes...The three classes offered are Platinum, Gold, and Red. Interestingly enough, the Red car where I joined ...

... Kata Tjuta ( formerly known as The Olgas), an early start but it meant that for our 3 hour walk today at Kings Canyon we were not doing it in the hottest part of the day. It was a fantastic walk &#8211; a bit steep challenging at first but once you got your second wind it was fine &#8211; lots of rock hopping and cliff edges to steer clear of but the views were worth the effort. A special feature with our tour company (Wayoutback Safaris) was getting to camp at Oak Valley, a site ...

... and had lots of anecdotes about Alice and its history. She had originally come out to teach at an outreach school for aborigine children so had a great understanding of all the problems facing them and an obvious respect for them as people and their culture.<br>

... we stare intently at the blank screen. waaaiiiitttttttttt. waiting. Hmmmmmm. Eventually work out that something might be amiss so head out and tell the girl that not much happening. She comes back in the room and suggests the tallest people stand up and wave their arms around..... !?!?! Of course! What were we thinking!? An obvious answer to the technical hiccup. <br>Following a frenzied arm wave by those vertically worthy, the film kicks in ...

... of races. At least on Sunday, the town has been pretty empty (&#8220;Alice&#8221; does have 22,000 people).<br><br> Tonight I may or may not see Contiki group because they&#8217;re in town. Worst case, there is cinema very close to my relatively nice hotel. Tomorrow, I booked a tour with 4WD (at a discount!) that visits the key sites around Alice. I ...
