Another ripper sunrise this morning. Started the morning with jaffles on the open fire. Pop's with spaghetti, Jack with bacon & eggs, Baz with leftover. We planned to do a big walk around the lake, however once again got chatting to fellow campers so settled with a medium walk introducing ourselves to every dog in the camp ground.

The Alice Springs school was the first of its kind and believed to cover the the biggest area in the world - 1.3million square km's,...
