Alice Springs

An early start today for a 3 hour flight to Alice - a 3 day trip into the outback and Uluru - looking forward to this one - wish I had read the Nevil Shute novel again to give us a flavour of what Alice used to be like.

I guess that's why they call it the Red Centre.

We checked into our hotel early and had a wander through the town - found a reptile centre and met Ruby

Also went to the Flying Doctor place and learnt about what it does and it's history - made a donation as I'm trekking around Uluru tomorrow and you never know........
