So, we get to Alice Springs and are immediately attacked by flies. We later purchased some fly head nets which were the best thing we ever bought!! the attack your eyes, ears and nose. lovely. We promptly motor off to Eyers Rock, where we caught sunset and also visited the Olgas and were ruthlessly savaged by flies again. it was also 42 degees. My god. So, the next day we watched sun set on Eyres rock and walked all around it. We went swimming and set off for Kings Canyon. We went extreme quad biking here - IT WAS SO GOOD! I rather smoothly crashed into a tree and scratched my arm up pretty good. Oh well. It still kicked arse!!! So, we then climbed Kings Canyon - so rewarding and so much better than Eyres rock! We had to sleep outside in swag bags, which is basically a sleeping bag in the open air. The stars were great, but the huntsman spider that crawled up Tom was bloody horrible. its about the size on a fist. Not nice!!! So, we headed back to Alice Springs and went to the pub - there was a snake and lizard man there, so we held loads of weird creatures and the next day held loads of baby kangaroos...in a jewellery shop? Thats right, baby kangaroos in an opal shop!!!! They were so cute!!! Me and Tom went for our sun rise hot air balloon ride too - soooooooooooooo cool!!!! It was fab. So. we then headed further north and stayed in a cattle station, which had a pet Emu - I was just minding my own business opening my swag bag and suddenly a massive Emu was strolling around!!! There were lots of strange creatures about under the stars, but it was cool! We finally made it up to Darwin and saw some crocodile. they were rather large. and finished off the wildlife collection nicely. We also saw some termite mounds that were 2 stories high and about a hundred years old!!! yuck!! We did get to swim in a waterfall though, so all good! That was great!!! when your inside the waterfall, theres a little semi circle around you. so nice!!! So now we're off to Melbourne to go check out the neighbours stuff. Wicked!!!! Well I hope everyone is doing ok and enjoying all the snow!!! Sorry this is a bit brief - basically a lot of strange wildlife and hot weather!!! Love to you all from Rach and Tom xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
