Darwin to Alice

---

Just spent 24 hours on the coach from Darwin to Alice Springs. Its SO hot hot hot here! Have checked into a hostel called Melanka's Party Bar for the night and we're waiting for our room to be cleaned.

On our journey in, we drove past the area where Peter Falconio was killed and saw the hotel where his girlfriend Joanne ended up getting to for safety ... BIG distance! It was pretty freaky as this was the outback, there is nothing there! I mean coach drivers dont stop there, the only things that do are the kangaroos, cows, bulls, birds and wallabys! We were driving through at night which just added to the drama. Our coach driver was a police officer at the time of the murder and he reckons not everything happened as she said it did. He didn't actually say it but it was clear he thought this Joanne had a lot to hide! And after hearing his evidence I'm inclined to agree.

Got a few pics along the way, check them out...
