Day 17: Kulgera to Alice Springs

As mentioned earlier we had a slight change of plans and headed straight past the Ayres Rock turn off and up to Alice Springs. Alice was completely different than I thought it would be. Instead of being in the middle of the desert, it is surrounded by the Macdonnell Ranges. We stayed at the Heavitree Tree Caravan Park which has a lovely backdrop of the Macdonnell Ranges - only thing was it was on fire. We could see the flame front to the west of us, but people in Alice don't get that concerned, not like in Victoria. Anyway it made for some great night viewing.

The kids had a swim and after dinner they got to hand feed a colony of Black Footed Rock Wallabies that come down from the ranges to the back of the caravan park.
Guess who loved that....
