Decided to give the Alice Springs Show a miss - much like the Auckland
Easter Show apparently - and instead rode 7kms out of town to the Alice
Springs Desert Park.
It's a neatly laid out park with attractive,
modern facilities. It has enclosures of dingos, emus and kangaroos plus a
nocturnal house and a couple of small bird houses. The displays and
demonstrations could have done with a lift, though we found a talk on indigenous bush tucker very interesting.
On the way out of the park,
we spotted this weird object attached to a shrubby branch. It was the
size of a large fist, sealed at the top with mud. A wasp's nest perhaps?
Any ideas gratefully received.
Tomorrow we resume our trip. Our
first night is at a bush camp. Could be out of mobile range frequently
from now on, so my posts could arrive in fits and starts.
Darwin here we come!
