We visited Simpson’s Gap on the way from the airport in Alice Springs to the townsite. The gap is a gap in the West MacDonell Ranges, a very long mountain range in this desert-like environment in the centre of Australia.
Rock-hopping wallaby
Tree and rocks
School excursion
Tree, grass and rock
Love the colours
It’s a lovely environment, including a small colony of rock-hopping wallabies. I loved the colours of the rocks and the grass and the sky, reminding me of the wonderful paintings of Albert Namatjira which I first saw in my childhood. As it is fairly close to town, there was a school excursion there: I always admire teachers who have the courage to take their students out of the classroom, as I know it’s always difficult.

Your “debut” blog is ,as expected ,well written and so interesting .
I’m afraid I couldnt do the Japanese Capsule accomodation !!!
It would be too claustrophobic for me .

Thanks Gen. It wasn’t really claustrophobic at all. I rarely stand on my bed at night anyway!!
