Not much to report this week, after settling in Sunday we had a bit of a rest day Monday. We ended up having dinner with our new NZ friends. Everything went well until the van battery shit itself, no lights we found out that the lights need to have battery power. (Another learning curve). Tuesday morning John spent on the phone sourcing the problem with the battery. All fixed by lunchtime. We then went off to play golf in the afternoon.
Wednesday we decided to walk around town as we had not done this. We then went to the Telegraph Station and to the actual Alice Springs, this is not an actual spring it is a catchment mistaken by Stuart as a Spring. We did a walk here up to Triggy Hill yes more rocks to climb up and down, it was well worth it. We saw lots of kangaroos in the field.
Thursday we decided to visit the Araluen Culture Precinct, this is a wonderful place. It consists of an Arts Centre, Museum of Central Australia ,Aviation Museum and Central Craft. Lots to see and read, very interesting. The staff were so lovely and willing to share their knowledge. We completed this on Friday morning.
Friday evening we went to a concert in the Olive Pink Botanical Gardens, an outside event. Katie Noonan and The Captains. We both enjoyed but it really wasn’t what we were expecting. Another experience we encounted here in the Outback.
Saturday, time to prepare to hit the road again, we have had a great time in Alice, Trice asked if we had put our names on the electoral role. If you get the opportunity to come here I am sure you will have a great time. John played golf this morning , not a happy chappie.
I am posting this tonight as we will be out of service for the next few days as we travel north to Darwin.
