Live From Alice Springs

Well at the moment we are at Alice Springs (ie in the middle of absolute no where!!) the lenght of Lands end to John oh grooves away from the next town. We are heading to Kings Canyon and Ayres rock later today. It is quite a drive from here, approx 400KM to Ayres rock. I always thought Ayres rock was near Alice Springs!!! We plan to spend Christmas in Adelaide we have booked into a hostel over looking the sea 1/2 hr drive from the centre. Just like Weymouth!! Since our last email we have driven from Cairns to Darwin which took 3 days driving 14 hrs a day ( Louise: It was bloody hot !!! ) most people have air conditioners but we had the heater on to stop the engine over heating!!!! still it was only 40C. Then we stopped of in Katherine gorge and did a bit of canoeing and illegal white water canoeing!! Next stop was Kakadu National Park which had loads of Aboriginal rock art and some pretty spectacular scenery and crocodiles (fortunately we saw these when on a boat ride) we refrained from swimming after this!!!. Then we spent a few days chilling out in Darwin. After the first night we through in our keys and decided to stay in a nice A/C hostel since it was so hot a night. We then headed South though Litchfield National Park, went swimming in some fantastic water holes with Waterfalls flowing into them. Centre Parks eat your heart out! Then we drove for another day and a half and our now here in the library at Alice Springs! I have also bought a digeridoo so I am planning to drive Louise mad within a week
