Old Update # 12- Alice Springs & Wildlife Park

17/05/08 The Local Arid Research Centre had a day out - so off we went.

Jaws-of-life demo.

Reptile handling - Heidi HATES reptiles.

Get that tail out of your groin James ! ! !

All sorts of interesting stuff.

Even Camel sausages ! ! (No Photo)

Back at the Van Park.

These huge Jumping 'Pillows' are great. The Dad's have just as much fun as the kids.

We don't normally like van parks - but this one was OK. Nice big-ish sites and...........

Free Pancakes on Sunday Morning. Well - not really free - just 'included in the price'. BUT - Is that the BIGGEST hotplate you've ever seen ??

Only trouble is - it makes it a rush to get to meeting.

This is why we didn't go back for 'seconds'. Everyone loves 'somethin for nuthin'

This is John Napia from Alice Springs Cong. He knew Heidi and her family when they were in West Queensland in the mid 70's.

As a side issue - without exception - every cong we have been to, there is either some WE know, or someone who knows someone we know. A reminder of "a small world in 'The Truth' ".

Haircut time.

Oh.. Ohhhhh.. here we go again....

Desert Wildlife Park - Awesome free-flight bird show.

Here's James interrogating the presenter afterwards.

Desert Flower

Anyone hungry ???????

EAST Macdonnell Ranges

Another walk - come-on Em's, you'll be right !

How's that for a Ghost Gum ! ! !

There is so much dust out here.

At least the roads are good.
