Who hasn’t heard about Alice Springs… it is a wild place… and home to more then just art and culture… it is home to many creatures big and small…
Ok… we may not have the biggest crocodile (who doesn’t love Terry at the Alice Springs Reptile Centre), or the most dangerous spiders… where even the ants bite and the bees sting (well not all bees)… and the numerous bird species, many flying through on their migratory path. Then there are the many wonderful reptiles and marsupials, the beautiful dingoes, and of course the feral animals including camels, donkeys and horses.
OK… these pelicans, camels, donkeys and horses were not quite in Alice Springs, but they were just down the road (as we say in the outback)… and we were really thrilled to see them…
Well that is it for now… but check back as I add more photos later 😀
