Default Heading to Alice Springs for a couple of days next week.

As the title says I am heading to Alice Springs next week. Fly in Monday and out Friday. Will be working during the day and sitting in the motel room of a night unless I find something else to do.

I know there are not too many people on here from The Alice but can anyone help?

Might even be able to have a brew or two and have a gas bag.

Thanks

Nigel.

If Keller Swiss and Indian is still there visit it! The food is great!

Take a walk around as well, it is a place full of character. As far as big small towns go I don't really mind Alice!

I did not want this to turn into a slinging match about where everyone lives. So please keep those style of comments to yourself.

I did however hope to catch up with any of our Central Australian members that were willing to get in touch and possibly have a beer or two.

PM me if you want to say hi.

Nigel.
