After our Adelaide experience we flew to Alice Springs to start our Red Centre experience.
Alice Springs is a lot smaller than I expected. It is very flat and not very inspiring at first glance. We met Ron and Di there who were our travel companions for the Red Centre Tour.
We stayed at a nice resort that had the Casino attached to it. Our rooms were comfortable and there was a free self service laundry that was handy. Peter had caught a chest infection from the bad weather in Adelaide so he was not up to touring.
It is very flat and there are no multi stories in Alice Springs - very much like the small country town.
There is not a whole lot to do in Alice Springs unless you do a bus tour to the bush attractions. We had booked a full day tour to see Hermannsburg Precinct, the Cycad Gorge and Palm Valley.
It was a huge day leaving early morning and getting back at dusk. In hind sight a half day tour may have been better.
The Hermannsburg Precinct was very interesting with a huge amount of historic information and a good insight into life as it was in the pioneer days.
The Cycad Gorge and Palm Valley was amazing as the country is so arid it is hard to imagine how plants of any sort can survive.
