30 June - Alice Springs


30 June 2016 – 177 203

Alice Springs
This morning we awoke at the Tropic of Capricorn, Hayden and I did some sprint work in the rest area before breakfast.  Alice Springs here we come! 

We are staying at G’Day Mate Tourist Park in Alice Springs for tonight and tomorrow night.

Off to the tourist information centre to find out about the National Parks in the area, then the supermarket to restock.  After a late lunch, Drew had a sleep and Hayden and I headed out.  First stop was the Central Australian Aviation Museum which had about ten different aircraft, ranging from early planes such as the Avro A3 and various de Havilland aircraft through to a DC-3.  Hayden had a turn on a flight simulator and enjoyed crashing his plane in a variety of ways as well as flying it.

Second stop was the Pioneer Womens Hall of Fame and Alice Springs Old Gaol – this was interesting but would ideally be taken slower and without children as there was much reading to do with nothing to keep children entertained while the adults read.

Tomorrow's plan is to get up early and go to the Alice Springs Desert Park.
