Alice Springs

What can I say about Alice Springs. It's so hot that's it practically unbearable to be in the open, or even the shade for that matter. I'm fast becoming the Air-con queen. Alice Springs is a small place which was established due to being a telegraph post and a watering hole. Nowadays, it attracts visitors as the base for people (like us) who want to see Kings Canyon and Aires Rock. It is so hot that you don't see many people out in the streets.

We came here early so that we could go on a balloon ride over the outback at dawn but it was cancelled due to the weather. We have managed to re-book it for tomorrow morning and have to be ready for 3.45am. I hope it goes ahead.

Our tour starts on Thursday when we go to Aires Rock and then Kings Canyon. I'm keen to see the sites but the thought of the heat is daunting!
