Here we are in Alice Springs and it is cold.....only uyp to 14 C today. Walked around Uluru and through one of the gorges at Kara Tjunta. Yesterday we walked into Kings Canyon - beautiful area and very spiritual. I am running out of computer time here so I will be brief. The camping up the centre of Australia in the outback was an awesome experience. We ate bushtucker every evening and it was just the best meat ever.... We have put on a lot of miles and probably seen every sunrise and sunset in 1350 kms. Early mornings but well worth the struggle to get up and get going. By 8:30 am every morning we would have walked at least 5 kms.
Spent my birthday with 15 of the younger ones we camped with - all under 25 yrs old. It was a blast. All day on the bus and walks they kept wishing me happy birthday and last evening I treated everyone to dinner - it was $5.00 A per person and the meals were quite large - at a place called Annies. Everyone except us, is staying in a hostel here and further on their trip. I am so glad we are in hotels.
As I said, very cold here. Every time someone opens the door, I freeze. Not anywhere near summer here. We are almost of the tropic of capricorn and it is so bloody cold......Enough about that.
Today laundry and sightseeing. Take a camel to dinner and then pack to leave tomorrow evening for Cairns.....hopefully to warmth.
Love to all and big hugs

Thanks for the greetings. What better way to spend a 60th birthday than travelling, unless it is with family....Miss everyone.
