Into the Heart of Australia
We successfully made it to Alice Springs this morning. The journey on The Legendary Ghan was great experience... fantastic scenes on the way to the Heart of Central Australia! Including three bouncing kangaroos and the "famous" Iron Man statue. We had a bit of an uncomfortable sleep last night though, someone in our carrage was a bit on the smelly side... and being typically English, we went to the lounge cart, and so did every…
