The Alice

---

On Thursday, after watching the sun rise onto Spring, we travelled the 800km Donahue-Plenty highway from Boulia to Alice Springs, skirting the top of the Simpson Desert and visiting NO towns on the way. Mid-morning we crossed into the Northern Territory (and set our clocks back 30mins). The highlight of the day (except for the awesome nothingness) was finding a Thorny Devil. The lowlight was meeting the most extreme flies we've even had to suffer poking in our noses, ears and eyes! We arrived late evening for dinner in Alice.

The next day we walked into town, climbed Anzac Hill for comprehensive views and then visited some of the historic buildings including taking a tour around the Royal Flying Doctors Service base and marvelled at the completely dry Todd river.
