Day 4 Alice Springs

The intention was to get up early and visit the Desert Park before it got too hot but we woke to the sound of thunder and found our swimming towels and bathers that had been hanging on the verandah strewn around a wide area. We think it must have been a whirly wind.

So it was close to 11.00 when we got to the Park and hot – already 39 degrees – but between the aviaries, the nocturnal house and the cafe, we managed not to overheat. The new barn owl encounter was particularly enjoyable and informative.
