Alice Springs and Ayers Rock

Visiting the outback was very interesting. Since I was a youngster, I have seen travelogues about Alice Springs and Ayers Rock. I remember stories of the School of the Air and the Royal Flying Doctor Service. This was my chance to see these things for real. At Ayers Rock we enjoyed an evening watching the sunset while enjoying champagne and nibbles. A dawn camel ride was fun as well.
