Arrived in Alice Springs in time for a late lunch and a quick look around town. Nothing much open on a Saturday afternoon!
Checked in at the Big 4 Caravan Park and while the kids checked out the play ground and BMX track, we caught the digeridoo exhibition.
Sunday started with free pancakes which are put on by the caravan park every Sunday morning. We then went into the markets in Todd Mall, and also had a look at the Beanie Festival (an annual event which brings people from all over the country to look, make, buy and swap the worst looking things you have ever seen!).

Comedian Dave Hughes was in town for one night, so we went out for some Thai with Troy & Naomi and had a laugh with Hughsey.
We drove out to the West MacDonald Ranges and saw some of the sights...
- Simpsons Gap
- Standley Chasm
- Redbank Gorge
- Glen Helen
- Ormiston Gorge
- Ochre Pits ($5,000 fine if you remove any of the rock)
- Ellery Creek Big Hole

It was another chilly night in Alice and Will rugged up accordingly!
