Alice

"Stapi is a town consisting of thirty huts, built on a large plain of lava, exposed to the rays of the sun, reflected from the volcano."
Alice Springs was supposed to be a one night stay where we recharged our depleted stores did our washing, bought a tent pole and did some shopping. We achieved all this together with a swanky dinner, so we felt pretty good. The next day we rocked up to the airport to perform a daughter exchange. Our eldest arrived, but her bag did not. We sent off our younger daughters, who had become an awesome camping team  to fly home. Alison held up a few hundred people trying to check in until the Qantas representative agreed to pay for another night's accommodation in town as locating us somewhere along the Oodnadatta track to deliver her bag when it arrived did not seem to appeal to them.
