Day 35; 10-08-2012

Friday...
Brrrrr!!!  We awoke to our chilliest morning for the trip.  At Erldunda it was -3.5 degrees at about 0630.
Despite the temperature, we packed up and moved on to the Alice.
After a visit to the information centre to get the 'good oil' on what to see and do around Alice Springs, we decided to check in to the park that we stayed at last Sunday night - MacDonnell Range Holiday Park.  We'll stay here for a few days and do day trips around the region.
We took a drive this arvy to see Simpsons Gap which is only a short drive from the Alice.  We then tracked over to the site (-23 44.10, 133 43.95) which is the subject of Albert Namatjira's "Twin Gums" watercolour painting of mid 20th century.
