Week 72- Monday 16th - Sunday 22nd October

Alice Springs, NT

Star Rating:★★★★

★=Full Star ☆=Half Star

Whilst at Alice Springs we:

  • Had heaps of fun in the pool, it had a waterslide that was awesome to throw yourself down on your belly-but I got a massive bruise from smashing my hip just a little bit too hard!
  • Broke down twice!! The first time was in the Coles car park when the alternator broke, and the car had to be taken to the mechanics on a tilt tray. The second was when we were trying to turn the car on to back onto the van-it would not start so Dad had to go get someone to jump start us. Dad drove to the mechanics who gave him some new batteries for the car.

  • Went out to have a look at Jessie's Gap, Emily's Gap and Simpsons Gap. They were all beautiful!
  • Walked up the hill in the caravan park and listened to a stargazing talk, it was really interesting and when the talk had finished we got to look in a massive telescope and see Saturn!!

The MEGA bruise that I got from going down the slide so many times.

There was two gorgeous rock wallabies at Simpsons Gap-can you spot them?

Ellery Creek Big Hole was beautiful-but cold! Luckily there was a lovely sand bank that we could warm up on after swimming. Other than lazing around on the sand banks and swimming we also got up early one morning and did a small walk in the mountains, we got to watch the sunrise from a high point on the walk. On our last night there we made a beautiful platter for dinner and ate it down at the water, when we had finished we went for a late swim-it was freezing!!


 On the way to Ellery Creek Big Hole we stopped at Standley Chasm, we got it to ourselves for a couple of minutes-it was awesome!👇

On the walk we did there were heaps of interesting rock formations-one was a triangular 'nature's window'.
