... out comes the tour guide looking for me!!! So i climb onto hte bus and say hello, only to be met by grnuts from the occupants!!! In Fairness they had just driven six hours from ALice Springs, so I forgave their ignorance! There were about twenty other people on the tour and most were ok- apart from the trio of Italians that didn't even bother to talk to anyone and insited that they did not pay to cook or clean up after any of our meals- that made them very popular with the ...

... coloured Uluru (Ayers Rock) towering in the distance. It is 3.6km long and rises 348 metres from the surrounding desert. We drove around the rock twice (10 km drive) once in each direction and did 3 small walks near the base of it. We viewed some rock paintings around the base and many times just stared up in awe at the size of this rock with so many faces. Thirty years ago, when I was on a school trip, I visited and climbed Ayers rock. Since that time the ...

Rich Text Area.Today it was 4:30am that was our starting time! We packed everything up and <br>headed for Uluru again to see the sunrise from behind it. This I think was <br>better as fewer people were there and everything was silent seeing the black <br>rock turn orange.<br><br>We drove then to the base walk where we spent 2 hours <br>walking around the rock itself seeing the surrounding watering holes, cave <br>paintings and also touched the rock close up. We had a snack at ...

... hippies, there so it definately has an interesting vibe. But when Craig text me from Perth telling me everyone was going to the beach I got a little freaked out just realised how far away from any coast line I actually was!<br><br>Thank god I had that nice, relaxing weekend because the next 6 days, on a tour from Alice Springs to Adelaide, were intense and exhausting and maybe just a little bit too much fun!

... good old Scott, our brilliant tour guide, lit up a fire and we all helped to prepare a nice yummy camp-oven dinner. Everybody sat on the their swags (for the German friends: Schlafsack mit eingenaehter Matraze) around the camp fire munched dinner, had a few drinks and then snuggled up to sleep in the swag watching a dazzling show of millions of stars above us - enough shooting starts to ensure every wish is fulfilled. <br>After a cold night, a much too ...

... going off every five minutes and we motioned to their bag on the overhead rack. In return we got that snide French shoulder shrug and a flick of the wrists to dismiss us. I honestly think they were tone deaf to the alarm since it wasn't speaking in French. I was wrong to assume that a cheap plastic object going Beep, Beep, Beep from the bowels of some tacky vinyl travel bag would universally mean please turn me off. So so wrong and I really ...

... etwas später bemerkt habe waren es sogar 37°C. Nach den eher kühlen Tagen im Süden war mir das aber nur recht.<br><br>Alice ist eine sehr spezielle Stadt und die Kriminalitätsrate ist auch sehr hoch. Mir wurde bereits bevor ich in Alice war mehrmals gesagt nicht in der Nacht nach draussen zu gehen, die Gefahr sei zu gross. So läuft man dann auch mit einem teilweise mulmigen Gefühl durch die Stadt, speziell am Abend nach der Didgeridoo Show.<br><br>Die meisten Leute in Alice ...

... threw spears went to all different kinds of waterfalls and pools and swam and jumped off rocks. Visited a place where Crocadile Dundee was filmed, did a river boat tour and saw real crocs in the wild. Helicopter ride cannoing down Catherine gorge<br><br>I could go on for much longer but there's too much that I did. Enjoy the pictures. I will have the memories forever best part of the trip by far. <br>

... on fake beard holding a wheel barrow to demonstrate mining in times of old. There was no end to our guide's talents! as well as her projectionist and opal demonstration skills she was the best uninformative tour guide ever!! My favourite line was when she explained how some miners "didnt make enough - they just made enough to live on and this isn't enough" there was also a genius comment regarding brain damage and blowing holes into the earth with ...

... tour before 1730 flight). I enjoyed doing something quite rare &#8211; being out in nature. The weather was chilly at first but warmed up. It is still surreal that I&#8217;m 1500km/900m from the nearest city!<br><br>Hill in Alice Springs, 7/28, 1300<br><br> I&#8217;m sitting here alone on this hill overlooking Alice Springs Telegraph Station and ...
