It's later than you think!

There was a moment yesterday when a small voice from downstairs said a very expressive word and Faith came running up to announce that our flight to Alice Springs was one day earlier than we'd remembered. The result is that we're here in the Red Centre now instead of .. well, tomorrow. If you want to know more about Alice Springs you'll need to do a search because I'm typing against the clock in a public internet booth with a queue developing behind me. First impressions:
red desert; frontier feel; similarities with Khaosan Road, aboriginal people - on the streets and in the surrounding countryside.
More later, if possible, and I've still got to tell everyone about the TRUE centre of Australia ... Forbes.

Hi Both, You seem to be having a terrific time.Your last photo was like something out of Red Dwarf,it could have been Rimmer,Lister & The Cat. Mammy's been keeping up to date with your adventures. I've printed the blogs for her.She says a trip to the river Todd is a must,during the Henley on Todd Regatta, if possible but dont feed the ducks & try to find a boat with wheels. Take care, Glain & mark etc,xxxx
