Departing New Barrow we\u2019ve a 300 kilometre drive to Alice Springs<\/a>, an easy run just the odd truck and caravans going somewhere. Driving into Alice we do a quick supermarket shop and continue on through The Gap to our CP about 5 kms from central Alice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We get the bikes off and do our Alice exploring via the extensive network of cycle ways. The Todd River is dry, just how the locals like it with the Henley on Todd Regatta coming up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our first find is the Botanic Garden just back through The Gap a couple of kilometres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pam\u2019s cousin Anne raved about wandering around spotting rock wallabies here recently, so where doing the same. They are a little hard to spot due to their grey colour and at this time of day they rest in the shade under the low shrubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However from a botanic perspective we thought it all a bit arid, all a bit drab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
