Something about a birthday

Spent the morning wandering around Alice Springs. Very different place, lots of aboriginal groups living a Western style of life here, which seems to be causing problems.

Visited some gardens that were unsurprisingly not that impressive... its too hot. Did see some rock wallabies though and learnt some of the aboriginal creation stories, it involved caterpillars!
There was also another snake, this one didn't dissappear, so I was able to get a picture and find out it was a Yellow-faced whip snake. Only mildly venomous.

Did some gallery hopping to see some aboriginal art. Some of them were awesome.

I then rented a bike to visit the Telegraph Station a little outside town. It talked about joining Australia with the UK and how they went about building the line. There was also some history about how back then, there were a number of mixed race children and they rounded them all up, taking them away from their mothers and teaching them the way of the white people. They thought it was the best thing for them.Leer más
