What a lovely surprise.
I don't know what I was expecting but Alice Springs is a really nice town.
The setting is gorgeous.
It is easy to get around.
There are bike paths everywhere and it is almost totally flat.
There is some seriuosly great coffee.
And one of the best meals ever.
The Desert Park is a must-see.
The Olive Pink Botanic Gardens has a great cafe.
You can see artworks by Albert Namatjira and other painters from Hermansberg at the Cultural Centre.
The Todd Mall has lots of gift shops and art galleries for browsing.
And there was so much we didn't see......we have to save something for next time!
