Day 13 - back to Alice
Thursday 26 September
Today was the big road trip back to Alice Springs for one night before flying out. 450 ish km mostly on the Lasseter and Stuart highways so easy driving. The Stuart speed limit is 130kph so you can cover the ground fairly quickly. All up the trip took about 5.5 hours with a few rest stops.
Once back we spent an hour or so at the Olive Pink botanical gardens before tea at Iron Jacks grill. Our last night was at Lasseters which is very nice. A fine end to a fine holiday. The weather had warmed up a bit and now in the pleasant high 20s which we would normally find very hot!
The Olive Pink gardens were pretty (named after a prominent lady from way back).

| The pool. Very inviting but we didn't swim as it wasn't hot enough! |
