Arriving in Alice Springs Liz and I were both surprised by how big the town had grown since we were last there. We drove around town, visited the tourist info centre, an aboriginal weaving gallery and found a suitable caravan park to stay.
Alice Springs was certainly cold at night (-1 deg. C) meaning we had to dig out all our warm clothes which we had not needed for the last 3 months.
After doing an oil and filter change on the cruiser we had a big breakfast and lazy morning. Once we did get going we explored a couple of aboriginal art galleries in the town centre and then headed out to the Desert Wildlife Park.
At Desert Park we saw and learnt about the abundant wildlife in the red centre including Dingo's, Kangaroo's, Goanna's, Snakes, Bilby's and birds.
They also had a fantastic bird show of Australian Raptors (birds of prey).
We finished the day watching the sun set over Alice Springs from ANZAC Hill.
The next morning we packed up and started the long, cold trip south!
