Alice Springs RFDS

Across the road from the Reptile Centre was the Royal Flying Doctor Service housed in one of the old bungalows in the Heritage Quarter, all dated around 1940 and looked after by the National Trust.
After a cake and tea, I saw the same video, together with a group from the Ghan train, about the Service as shown in Darwin together with a hologram of the founder, John Flynn. The aircraft on display was also the same model. There were headsets showing 3D videos of being a pilot and a patient.
In the evening, I did some laundry at the motel, and also had dinner there, watching both Aussie Rules and Rugby League matches on the TV screens in the restaurant.
