Alice Springs / Cairns
Today before leaving Alice Springs, we went to the Alice Springs Desert Park, where there are many amusing cartoon signs with animals talking about the slow demise of their natural habitat. I got to see all kinds of sweet creatures though, like this one python (can't remember the name) that smashes its prey against a rock to kill it. Good job, python.
We also went to the old Telegraph station, which is where Alice Springs started. This was the most boring excursion ever, except we learned about all the unfortunate interactions between early European settlers and Aboriginal women. Interesting, but super sad.
This evening we arrived at Cairns; now we're back on the coast! We drove up to Mossman, which is about 1.5 hours from Cairns, and are staying at this amazing resort called Silky Oaks. Each room is a separate cabin - and this would be ultra-romantic if I didn't have to room with Serota Jr.
Tomorrow - Great Barrier Reef!!! YAY!
