Old Telegraph Station Alice Springs
Wed 8th - After packing up we called into the Old Telegraph Station a few km's out of town. $9 per adult. It was a really lovely spot, so peaceful, in a tranquil bush setting.

Alice, Reptile Centre & Desert Park
Mon 6th - Brr it was a cold night and morning. The gas bottle ran it during the night and it was too cold to get up and change it over, so we didn't have the heater.

Uluru Base Walk
Sat 4th - It was a rough night last night with whiz bang doors slamming, people talking until late, music and then we were woken at 4.30am.

But they do offer free … Continue reading On the way to Uluru
The Almighty Kings Canyon
Tues 31st - We came, we saw, we conquered. Well maybe it conquered us. We were up early, before the sun, packed up and headed to Kings Canyon.

Craters, Camels and Killer Bees
Mon 30th - We packed up pretty smartly and headed into Redbank Gorge. It's a 1.2km walk to the gorge. The path is not well defined and at times you are walking along the creek bed and doing a lot of rock hopping. It's well worth the walk, tall red cliffs follow the creek bed … Continue reading Craters, Camels and Killer Bees
