Day 68 Alice Springs

To start off the day today we fed the Australian Ringnecks outside.
We then went down to Simpsons gap in the West MacDonnell Ranges. The towering wall of the Simpsons Range was split by a narrow band of water. There was a pond of water that was freezing cold and we even spotted a rock wallaby.
Next we drove back into town to check out the old Telegraph Station. We learnt about the history of the Telegraph Station and the township, the lives of the early telegraphers and their families, as well as discussing the Stolen Generation history of the site. Jessica, Ryley and I also did a quiz, and at the end we all got free lollipops and icy poles.
Next we stopped by the Megafauna Museum where we saw dinosaurs, how people get bones out of the ground, the history of Alice Springs, and a giant bird called the Dromornis that looks just like the Snipe from the movie 'UP', (Kevin).
After we finished at the museum we went back to the caravan park for our last splash and slide into the pool.Baca selengkapnya
