Day 51 - Alice Springs

The longest distance of our holidays today - 388km - from Wauchope to The Alice - but an easy drive as no towns and virtually flat road. The drive through Central Aussie is still quite picturesque - this is around Barrow Creek...

Had lunch at Ti-Tree at the roadhouse - then at a memorial for the original OTL this was a post from the original line...

Afternoon stop for ice cream at Aileron...

And our first glimpse of the Macdonnell Ranges coming into Alice Springs...

The tourist season is still full on so difficult to get a site in The Alice. We got an ensuite site (last one) at a park & we figured Faye deserved some luxury after nights in a tent!

It's now time to take a breather - some shopping for Faye - and to see what we can do about our Canon camera. There is a camera repair company here but if it is going to be too expensive one option is to buy a new body (staying with Canon means that we could us our existing lenses - which are the most expensive part). We are staying here for 4 nights then planning for a few nights at Ross river resort in the East Macs.
