Alice Springs and the Outback

From Darwin I flew to Alice Springs which I thought would be a small town however it has developed as a community that a lot of people fly into before travelling by road transit down to Urlu. It is also home to many Indigious people. Around Alice there are many communities. I stayed at an amazing hostel called Alice Lodge and it was fantastic.
I had a night in Alice and then headed on a 3 day and 2 night camping trip to the outback. I learned that cameas are very useful and popular animals in the outback because of their ability to not need a lot of water for long periods of time.

In the outback, I saw Urlu, King's Canyon and the Olgas. I personally thought the Canyon was the most interesting. Of the whole camping trip, I learned about native plants and their healing propeties and was able to see all the southern stars because we slepted directly under the stars in aussie's sleeping equipment. It was an amazing site.














Photos of Urlu from many directions and different times of the day.

On the way back to Alice Spring I saw a road train. It is a transport trunk that has at least 3 trailers behind it.

After returning to Alice, I spent half the next day exploring the town and interacting with the Indigious people, it was great. In the afternoon I left for Melbourne.

I would have enjoyed having another day in Alice.
