Alice Spring

The main street:

Chamels played a big role in the construction of the railway. If I remember well, this painting is on the police station wall...

The river. We saw pictures of it after rains, it was full of water.

Our hostel was a tiny one, very charming. It is run by one nice man, who wants to make it very friendly. When we arrived, he greeted us by our names (OK, he was expecting us, but still, ...). The hostel has only 14 rooms, and we felt as at grandma's. Our room was in the main building, next to the bathroom that looked exatcly like the one at my parent's, and next to a real family kitchen. All with a 70's look, very cosy. This is the backyard.
