The Red Centre, The Heart of Australia is where we are at the moment. We worked across from Charters Towers to Mount Isa were we went on a underground and surface mine tour and explored the whole city for a couple of days. Then we crossed the border to Alice Springs, stopping overnight on the side of the road half way.

So here we are in Alice Springs. Today’s big thing was this morning when Dad took us all FLYING! He hired a private plane and flew us all around Alice Springs and The Red Centre. We got to see the Macdonnell Ranges and Simpson’s Gap. The plane was really noisy and you had to yell to be heard. I felt a bit head-achy at the end because of all the noise and the constant bumping of the plane but it was totally worth it!

This afternoon we have been relaxing and I have caught up on some emails. We head to Uluru tomorrow I believe and we will visit some of the places we flew over today!
