After a number of days out in the never, never we spent 3 days in Alice Springs. We thought 3 days would a) give us a break from the travel and b) see the many sights that are within a small drive from Alice town centre.
On Wednesday we spent the day touring around Alice Springs and also running a few errands, filling gas bottles, washing and re-fuelling the car. We went up to the Old Telegraph Station which is the era's most intact Telegraph Station from the Old Telegraph Line from Adelaide to Darwin.
Some very interesting stories about the people that worked the Telegraph Station as well as the history of the building of the Telegraph Line. Following that we went to the School of the Air headquarters and then to the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
On Thursday we took a drive out to Palm Valley. This required some off-road driving, much excitement for Adam. Although it was suggested the road contained some severe 4wd, it really wasn't very difficult but the result at the end was great. An oasis in the desert, that included some locals along the way.
Great pics
