Aaaaghhhh ... we may be stranded in Alice Springs!!!! We tried to book our train to Darwin to leave tomorrow as planned and there are no available seats until the 29th August (we leave Oz on the 25th!!) We are so raging because we have already paid for the unlimited train ticket (the same ticket we have been using for all our travelling) and this would be our last opportunity to use it! We are currently in a travel centre looking for planes, cars, camper van...

Arrived in Alice Springs yesterday afternoon - later than planned but seemed quicker than expected! Our hostel is called Annie's Place and seems cool. We are in a 6 bed female dorm with our own bathroom, which is good! Yesterday we just had a wander around the town with one of our roomies, Holly. Then in the evening we went to Anzac Hill to watch the sunset! We had read about this place in the Lonely Planet book and I guess many people read that book ...
