Up and off without the van to see if we could go to a number
of locations we were yet to see in the Alice Springs area. First we hit the
awful NT dirt roads to visit Ewaninga Aboriginal Rock Carvings. This art was
over a large area of rock considering it was all done with rock tools. We then
headed to Emily and Jessie Gaps to see aboriginal painting on the rocks. To me
this was a poor example of art and there was very little to see. The art was
however different to anything I had seen previously. We stopped at the Olive
Pink Botanical Gardens to walk around. Again I wasn’t to excited about the
gardens. We then visited the Alice Springs Telegraph Station Historical
Reserve. This came with a guided tour, and the visit was very good. Great
information both verbal and written, and I learnt a lot. Hayden also learnt
more about a person he is doing school work on, so that as a great bonus. This
was a must for anyone interested in the history of the area. This is also the
location the Larapinta trail starts from, so we had a look. All 3 of us believe
we will be back to complete this trail. Hayden then took me to the Aviation
Museum to use the flight simulation computer, but we only had 20 minutes. We
then did some quick shopping and returned to the van park to let Hayden be
involved in the kid’s game night. There was also meant to be a movie, but it
did not seem to happen.
