Todd Tavern Alice Springs

... involves climbing what is known as HEART ATTACK HILL!!! The hill does not look that steep but fook me it was hard! There are aboiut 300-400 stone steps cut into the hill and you just have to get on up there!!! Ther hill got its name because people have died doing it!<br>I got to the bottom of the hill and started the climb in fith gear, by the fith step I was not sure if I would make it but I motored on through anf got about 3/4 way up!!! At that point I though I was not ...

... English and we speak no Italian. We had come to the part of our trip where it was imperative we launder our clothes or there would have been an international incident. <br> I think we made our wishes known to our hotel that we had to find a laundromat. At that point in my life, I thought every country had coin operated laundries for those not fortunate to have their own washer and dryer. We gathered up our laundry and both of us ...

... A wonderful mix of modern and Victorian architecture. After a nights kip we do the tour of the Adelaide Oval (its a cricket ground if you didnt know), we were even allowed inside the famous scoreboard and had a tinker about with the scoring systems. That afternoon we drove up to Blyth which is a tiny South Australian township, one shop, one pub, you get the picture. We're ...

... cochons ensemble!!!<br><br>De retour à notre hostlel à Quorn, nous avons mangé un vrai barbecue australien : des boulettes d&#8217;émeus, du steak de kangourous et de la saucisse de chameau&#8230; Un peu brûlé de la journée (pas uniquement en raison du soleil et de la chaleur qui se fait de plus en plus sentir à s&#8217;approchant du Outback), j&#8217;ai regardé mes photos et pris la direction du dodo&#8230;<br><br>Jour 11 :<br><br>Après un levée vers les 6 :00am, nous ...

Woohoo! Last day of work! Luckily my boss gave me the day off, so officially I finished yesterday, but Nico did the early morning session of ballooning and then we spent the rest of the day getting drunk at a BBQ Nico's boss had organised. We had lots of marinated chicken wings, sausages and then lamb steaks, which was all gorgeous, plus lots and lots of decent quality wine- how we're ...

... um auch die Leute im Outback zu versorgen. Das bezieht sich nicht nur auf Rettung im Ernstfall, sondern auch auf aerztliche Grundversorgung, die auf einer Diagnose per Telefon passiert. Dazu gibt es im Outback einen Dolmetscher, da viele gibt die nicht ausreichend Englisch sprechen. Die verwenden dann diese Bilder um dem Problem naeher zu kommen. Dieser hat dann ...

... tourists on the coasts becoming croc poop and tourists in the Outback becoming shredded beef jerky out in that scorching sun. This place is awesome!<br><br>Only three hours enroute to Alice, why this train stops in Katherine for just over four hours I will never know. It must be solely to boost their tourism industry since overpriced 3 hour packages to the attractions are sold much like on a cruise ship. I skipped the $300 balloon rides and $100 ...

Have you been wondering what I've been up to since we last 'spoke&#8217;. Well it won&#8217;t surprise you to know that yes I was in Sydney when the red dust storm hit town, I of course slept through the red storm, the orange storm but was awake in time for the khaki coloured one. Well what do you expect, the red one hit at about 5 am . The photos later in the newspapers were amazing and from hearing people talk &#8211; it was the only subject that day, locals thought the world was ...

... We have even seen a rabbit hopping around our campsite each day - they are wild rabbits but dont seem too scared of people (except Charlie who has a penchant for chasing animals and giggling like mad when they run away). On our last night here Lucy and Jav saw a big kangaroo outside the van.<br><br>We have been in Alice at the same time that TrikeFest was taking place so the caravan park was swamped with "funny motorbikes" ! Lots of motorcyclists and their hotted up trikes ...

... the Aboriginal way of life. I still don&#8217;t really understand the ins and outs of their history and what happened between them and the European settlers but it&#8217;s fascinating to think how long they have been living here and sad to see how many of them have turned out.<br><br>The drive along the Stuart Highway through the outback was pretty long but we broke it up with plenty of stops along the way. We went kayaking along Katherine Gorge and swam in the ...
