Alice Springs

I cant believe how much Alice Springs has changed....I was last here when I was 19 years old. There has been so much growth in the infrastructure.

We stayed in the McDonnell's Range Big 4 caravan Park. Nice and grassy, very clean.

First on the to-do list:  Into town to see a Didgeridoo Show....Meg loved it! She seems to have quite  a talent for playing the Didgeridoo. Meg bought one with her money that she won at the fishing comp. in King Ash Bay......Go Meggy!

 Next: Quad Biking below the McDonnell Ranges on a working cattle station.

 Then: Bush tucker Tour around an Aboriginal Community. We tried a variety of seeds and bush coconuts. The main delicacy of the Aboriginals out here is the Kangaroo Tail! Not for all of us but the kids loved it! Next on the menu was a witchety grub....only 1 was brave enough...Meggy!!!

After that we tried our hand at boomerang throwing...heaps of fun!

Kangaroo Tail

Yummy Kangaroo!!

Not sure about this Boomerang throwing???!!!

The tour ended with a lovely cup of tea and some damper....now that was yummy!

Finally: Desert Park

 WOW...This is a show to see!....They run a 'Bird Of Prey' show and it is spectacular...I thought these birds were remote controlled!!!....the rest of the park is full of interesting facts about native plant life and great stories from local aboriginals...this is told via headphones as you walk around the park.

P.S.    We didnt do all this in one day....we did spread it over 4 days.....not that energetic!!!!
