Alice Springs Goodbye Final ….Uluru here we come !!
We have wound up our visit here by having a few drinks with Tommy and he painted an original scene on my didgeridoo and signed it ! (picures forth coming) We were so impressed we bought a signed hunting boomerang All in all we had a very pleasant night Tommy told us he is negotiating to write his life story ! next week he travels to Cairns to maintain contact with Mother Earth (his words) it was a pleasure meeting up with him and you can catch a video of him and me Jamming on didgeridoo.s what a great experience (look me up on Facebook under Geoff Luxton)
Farewell Alice. next..On the road to Uluru (Ayers Rock)
we initially came here overnight but stayed a week !! Alice is a great place & lots to see In the next batch of photos is a mountain range that resembles a pregnant woman ( look for it) The Western Arrernte Aborigines, call the mountain Rwetyepme. And they have a legend of a pregnant woman who did wrong by the tribe and was forced to forever lay on her back watching the sun crossing the sky. The Bo Jangles pub leaves everlasting memories.The Desert Sanctuary,the very unusual flood waters,the surrounding creeks/chasms/water holes are fantastic viewing The Didgeridoo lessons were free & very entertaining & tutors were great,The painting by Tommy will always remind us of where we have been (We WILL return) We have made many friends & Life dont get much better than this Tomorrow we set off towards Uluru with stops on the way & no doubt lots of pictures to take Could possibly be out of signal again STOP PRESS Tommy came over and offered to paint a Goanna on it he just did a Jam session in front of our bus and gave me a lesson Wait for more Tommy Pics
Bit of Fun from the pub
Watch me play Didgeridoo
