Wed 5 Oct – Fri 7 Oct 2011 – ‘A Town like Alice’

We checked into a camping ground with a powered site for 3 nights to charge up, re-stock essential items and actually use a washing machine (as opposed to handwashing).
It seemed that the park we chose to stay at was in an area with a high population of out indigenous cousins. One night was a bit like being in a community, with all the yelling & carrying on…..that’s how they roll, and I’m certainly no stranger to it.
Probably explained why the park was security gated.

During our stay here, we visited the reptile park, where Karen confronted her snake phobia by having a python draped around here – hehe, she was crapping herself! The boys though it was great, holding all sorts of Lizards & Goannas.
Karen then got in some retail therapy, while I took the boys to the aquatic centre to run amuck.  It was good to soak in the pool for a few hours to try & fix hard cracked feet as a result of living in jandals (thongs for you ozzies) for weeks in the dry heat.
We found another geocache at the lookout and had a bit of a look around Alice.
Interesting place for a desert town and we were certainly token white fellas when in a supermarket on a Friday.  Apparently you try to avoid going to shops on Fridays in Alice.
