Alice Springs

Arrived at Alice Springs Sunday about 4 pm, tried to book into the Family Parks caravan park, and they had no powered sites left, this turns out to be a blessing in disguise, our second choice was the Big 4 Macdonnell Range caravan park and it is one of the best parks we have stayed in ( would strongely recommend this to anyone).
First morning was -2 degrees ice everywhere through to a maximum 19, sunny skies, The Alice is a very strikiing town, wide streets, tidy, not what we thought it would be like.
We did a tour of  The School of the Air and watched teachers and students doing their lessons, very impressed. We also went to the Royal Flying Doctor for another tour, again this was very impressive,
from early childhood we have heard of these outback organisations and to see them working in real life was great. We also went to Anzac Hill lookout which gave scenic views of town.
Today we went to the Ghan Train museum to see the old Ghan Engine, old dining cars etc.
Also the Botanic gardens, Adelaide House which was the first Hospital.
Tomorrow we head towards Tennant Creek.
