Day 30 Alice Springs

We ended up staying another day in Alice... With incessant rain for 2 days we decided that it would be a good idea to avoid the flash flooding and just hang out one more day. Added to the this is the fact that Dave was waiting on his new rear wheel.

At 5.30am when I looked out the window I groaned and got out the rain gear. They have probably had more rain in the past two days then they did for most of last year! Anyway, it was with a sigh of relief that both Andrew and Dave readily agreed that another day was a good idea.

We're all packed and set to go for tomorrow morning. In the background we hear the steady thunder of fireworks... it is Territory Day today, and people can legally set off fireworks from 6pm until 11pm. I'm guessing that the risk of brush fires is pretty low at the moment!
