After our
diversion out East, we headed in to Alice Springs. It felt really weird driving
so far south, almost like we were going in the wrong direction. I forgot how
enormous the ranges around Alice Springs are, although it did feel familiar
when we got there. I was only aged12 or so last time I was here though. We had
booked into the Big 4 for some pool and child action, and the fact that they do
free pancakes on a Sunday morning helped our choice too!
Unfortunately,
it seemed every school camp full of Year 11 students was ALSO booked into the
same caravan park. Or seeing the same sights we were. Seriously. There were at
least 4 HUGE school groups in town and I did not wish to be one of those
teachers one little bit!
We had a
lovely few days in Alice Springs, checking out all the sights. We went to the
Reptile Centre, the Old Telegraph Station, the Royal Flying Doctor Service, the
Museum and Art Gallery and the Transport Hall of Fame. But by far my favourite
visit was to the School of the Air, which deserves a post all of its very own!
