Alice Springs
Soundtrack: “Parts Of The Process” by Morcheeba
Monday 20th June. In the morning, Penny taught me how to crochet beanies. Go me. The landscape on the journey was awesome: the sunrise was gorgeous, the land was a deep red, the sky was a deep blue. I did, however, feel a little queasy, as I hadn’t had anywhere near enough sleep. On arriving in Alice, I got chatting with Richard, and we spent the afternoon walking around town. There isn’t really much to do in Alice. We climbed Anzac Hill, as that was recommended to me by Penny, and you could see all the fantastic hills and rocks for miles around, coupled with the setting sun. Both of us hadn’t slept at all on the train, so after a cheap dinner at bloody Melanka Backpackers (it’s Alice Party Central, so there’s always noise noise noise), we tried to get an early night.
