Monday 4 September
What a great day! We got up before dawn at Marla, our first stop. As the sun rose we had a cuppa and a Vegemite scroll, and stretched our legs walking almost the length of the train.
Later on we enjoyed the passing scenery and a substantial brunch.
Around 2 o'clock we pulled in to the Alice and disembarked for our chosen tour - the Desert Park. It was beautifully laid out with a number of regional landscapes, flora and fauna. The highlight was the flight bird show throughout which a willy wagtail tried to steal the show from the birds of prey. We are lucky to be here when the wildflowers are at their best.
Back to the train half an hour ago and thinking about a gin and tonic before dinner.
How wonderful and there must be wifi too?
ReplyDeleteThe desert park is a must for anyone visiting Alice!
ReplyDeleteSounds great! I was there about the same time and loved it too.
