May 2 Alice Springs

Monday May 2 was a public holiday in Alice Springs. They had a few events on, but the weather was unusually overcast and we were too lazy to get along to any crowded events. Instead, we had a relaxing day checking out a few places close to "home".

We had a brief look at the Desert Park. An interesting place, if also a little over-priced, to learn more about Central Australia.

We took some photos at Honeymoon Gap, which is just around the corner from the caravan park.

Whilst it was dull and overcast for most of the day, there was an exciting outbreak of sun just before sunset. A nice way to end the day.
