Day 37 - Flying to Alice Springs

Once again, no lie-in as we had to catch the shuttle bus to the airport for our 11:25 flight to the middle of Oz. Luckily we had a 23kg per person luggage allowance so all the leftover beer and wine could come with us!

The flight was very nice, getting loads of leg room which would’ve been great on the flights to Australia. We also got lunch and drinks so this too was nice.

Wow it’s hot in the middle of this country, being a cosy 40 degrees when we arrived. The only saving grace was that, unlike Cairns, the humidity is very low so we weren’t as sweaty every time we went for a walk. This was good as we had to walk to Woolies in town to get some water etc before going back to the hostel to drink it all!

Later we decided to head in to town again to try a place called Overlanders Steak House (serves crocodile, kangaroo, emu and a like) but we swiftly moved on as soon as we saw their prices! We gave Eagle Boys pizza a go tonight and that was ok, we took the leftovers back to the hostel for midnight snacks too.


There's not much rainfall here either, as the picture of the Todd River below shows:
