In The Alice...

After two nights out at the rather amazing Palm Springs, we are in dear old Alice. Rachel is even reading "A Town Like Alice" to get in the spirit of things.

Palm Valley was a suprise- a near oasis in the desert- the "cabbage palm" grows there. It is a leftover fromn the days when Central Oz was a rainforest and survives thanks to a lucky combination of geology, rain, shelter and adaption. Met some great people there too- Newlyweds Neil and Anna along with funky Grey Nomads Don and Dorothy. We're having a blast.

Off to Kakadu via the usual spots on the Stuart Highway next. Darwin by Sunday...
