After arriving on Saturday and trying to catch up on our Blog only to find we still had a virus(see earlier blog), we decided it was best to stay in Alice and try to have the computer guy refix our laptop on Monday. This decided we spent Sunday at the Todd Mall markets which are only on twice a month. They are an interesting market with a mixture of stalls frequented by tourist and local alike. We bought some presents and enjoyed the morning before stocking up at the supermarket for the next 10 days. A feat in itself with our limited space, but we do not want to pay the prices for frozen bread, milk(when you can get it),veges etc and we have managed well over 5/6 days before.It was Father's Day so we went to dinner at the Tavern connected to the c'van park where there was a roast smorgasboard , a country artist(right up Georges alley) and a reptile show which was very hands on.
Monday arrived and no luck with the laptop, it must be dealt with overnight so,lucky for me, we got to go to the Cultural Precinct where there is currently a once a year exhibition of up and coming Aboriginal artists from the various communities in the Territory.This is called 'The Desert Mob'and features artwork, dance and the sale of works. A wonderful display which we all enjoyed. The Precinct also features a Craft shop and workshop,where we watched silk screen printing and felting, and an aviation museum.
Tuesday: after waiting till 11am for our computer we FINALLY left Alice Springs and headed down to Uluru. We camped at a free camp at Curtin Springs 85km's from Uluru in readiness for an early arrival at Yulara and a busy 2 days. Saw quite a lot of Wedge Tail Eagles on the final stretch of road probably because it is a busy tourist road and there was a lot of roadkill.
