Alice Springs: third times a charm

Just a quick photo from the phone from Alice Springs Desert park.

This was actually my third choice for an Alice springs tour. First choice was the Old Ghan museum, but I was the only one that requested it. (I’m on a train and no one else is interested in trains?) Second choice was a tour bus around the city with the opportunity to get off for 2 sites, since it was pointed out that one of the choices was the old Ghan museum. However, that bus was full up so I had to pick again.
Pictures from the DSLR will have to wait until I can upload from the laptop.

Adelaide Hills and Hahndorf

I took a 1/2 day bus tour through the Adelaide hills and the German-settled town of Hahndorf.

The view of Adelaide from Mt. Lofty:

Koala crossings are posted on the roads, but I didn’t see any actual koalas

Hahndorf, settled in 1839 by Prussians.
