Alice Springs (2 nights)

After 2 days out at Uluru we headed for Alice Springs, it was getting hotter by the kilometre and we were pleased to see the pool at the camping ground!  The boys were also pleased to see a jumping pillow where they soon found some buddies, a couple of kids from Adelaide who are doing generally the same trip as us over 5 months, their parents Kate and Antony are tagging along too.  Hopefully we will meet up with them again along the way as it was great to talk to some younger people for a change!

We visited the town centre (no book shops!) and the Reptile Centre where we learnt about geckos, lizards and snakes.  Terry the crocodile was out of town so we didn’t get to see him.  Enzo bravely held the olive python and Leon and I held a bearded dragon lizard, my favourite!
