Sunrise in the outback

>

It took awhile to get used to sleeping with the noise and movement of the carriage but we managed a few hours. We awoke early and looked out the window in time to pass Cadney Homestead (where we have camped a few times) then watch the sunrise. We've never had the chance to lay in bed, watching the sun rise whilst travelling at 100km/hr before!!

Day 2 began with a delicious breakfast and more lectures before we got to Alice Springs. Cathy's cousin Linley met us at the train. We went to visit the Alice Springs Desert Park where we were fascinated by the wildlife in the nocturnal house.

Later in the afternoon, Cathy and some colleagues had a tour of the Alice Springs Hospital Paediatric ward.
