THIRTYSECOND DAY – MONDAY 9TH AUGUST
Woke up early to see the sunrise. Climbed the rocks to get a good view. There were funny fluffy little white clouds which made the sunrise look interesting. Had breaky then off we went about 8 am. I love the red rocky hills dotted with Spinifex and the short scrub in full bloom with different hues of yellow, white, purple and pink flowers and also the many different types of grasses blowing in the wind. We stopped at Ti Tree where ‘The most central pub in Australia is.’ South of Ti Tree we unexpectantly discovered a Mango and Grape Farm. They make mango wine and other yummy things. We had some tastings and bought some. We finally reached Alice Springs after stopping for a quick nap as Graeme was a bit tired. We dropped into the info centre as usual to grab info, or course, about the surrounding areas. We also saw a note about voting so off we went like good little citizens and voted. We then did a bit of grocery shopping and then found a caravan park to stay in. We settled in then did a load of washing, a few phone calls and internet while we have reception. We had kangaroo steaks and salad for dinner.
