Last nights temperature was 2°C again. It is very hard to get up before the sun is shining somewhere you can sit for breakfast. 

Today we went for another swim, returned the key to the storage sheds, did some more organising so we can head on to the East MacDonnell Ranges tomorrow.

On the way back top camp we popped in to the Beanie Festival. This is a main tourism event for the area. There were all sorts of beanies for sale ranging in price from $30 to even as much as $85. They were colourful, unusual and some even quite eccentric. There is also a competition but unfortunately that doesn’t start until tomorrow.

It is time for us to move on from Alice Springs now. 

“The world’s biggest and best Beanie Festival. 6800 handmade beanies from around the world arrive in Alice Springs for four days of textile workshops, Indigenous culture, live entertainment and fabulous food. A feast of the senses full of colour warmth and a truly unique experience.”
