this walk was quite arduous on such an unforgiving surface
who'd have expected to find, a trickle of water down there?

farewell to Alice
This was a big day, having started with a 5.30 am departure for sunrise over Uluru, back for breakfast, followed by the base walk around Uluru, then a walk during the afternoon, at the Olgas.
our group had already flown from Uluru to Alice Springs, time to enjoy a coffee while waiting at the airport then for this flight to Sydney. Farewell to Alice, a fantastic destination I'll never forget.

Great landscape, great pictures. I love the red shades of the rocks ... must have been a great adventure!
Hi Carole - I'm stopping in for my once-a-week blog session. You did indeed visit some magical locations: thank you for sharing with us!
Is that Alice Springs in its entirety below the wing tip?
Such stark beauty. Our geologist friend used to call the desert "naked geology." So true. - Margy
The photo-happy traveler is at it again...as always! ;-) What a place! I need to research the name to see why it's "Alice." Fascinating photos, Carole...of a fascinating landscape.
Taken in part from this site:
http://www.southaustralianhistory.com.au/alicesprings.htm to answer your question EVELYN:
The original, or Alice Springs proper, was situated at the Old Telegraph Station (I did a post on this) location. W. W. Mills had written in his diary whilst working there, "numerous waterholes and springs, the principal of which is the Alice Spring which I had the honour of naming after Mrs (Alice) Todd". (The O.T.Stn was located 6 kms up the Todd River).
Hi John, no there's much more - the airport is 15 kilometres from the township.
Great shots of this magical place. I remember that walk it was hard on the feet but just fantastic scenery.
Wow that looks like quite the hiking area. It's beautiful in it's own way.
Thank YOU for sharing, Carole!

A wonderful day and I'm sure you slept well that night Carole. You've captured the essence of the place beautifully.
Beautiful photos! Love the contrast between the red earth and the blue sky! Great shot of you! Like the shot of the airport as you are in flight too! Thanks for sharing your wonderful trip online for many to enjoy!
Hi Carole,
Great series of pictures of your walk in the beautiful nature
Nice to be on the picture to see you.
Best regards, Irma
The first photos show a landscape so dry then, surprise, here is vegetation. The photo of yourself is nice too – your colors match well with the scenery.
