Alice Spring

Road to Alice Spring

We arrived in Alice Spring, it was sunny and 25 degrees much warmer than in Sydney.  The first night we slept in a Hotel and we had to use the aircon. Not because it was too hot, because it was freezing cold, just 1 or 2 degrees at night. However, the next morning at 5 o’clock we had to be ready for the 3 day Rock tour.

On the first day we drove via some short stops to the famous Ayers Rock also known as Uluru. Uluru is Aborigine language. There we get some interesting information about the culture of the Aborigines and why we aren’t allowed to make photos of every place.

After this we went for a walk around Uluru, it took us about two hours, fortunately it wasn’t summer and 45 degrees.

Our “accommodation “ was just a fireplace, we slept in a sleeping bag  under the stars. It was really cold, under zero degrees I would suggest.  The next day we had to get up early to catch a view of the rising sun next to Uluru.

Later we reached my favourite lookout. Red sand, blue sky, green trees and light brown grass.

On our last day in the desert of N.T. we climbed up to the Kings Canyon.

The Garden of Eden 

 A place surrounded by Rocks, full of life and mystic. After a stop at the camel farm we went back to Alice Spring. In the evening we met the other travelers from the tour for a few drinks and get some good advises what we could do in Melbourne.
