SATURDAY 19 JUNE     ALICE SPRINGS

Another pleasant day.

Although this caravan park is a busy one, it is not all that noisy in the mornings and we are able to sleep in.

I went and bought the paper and we read that.

After an early lunch, John played bowls at the Memorial Club.

I read. Went for a walk around the park, which is a large one. It has a backdrop of the range that bisects Alice Springs. Originally, the settlement was on the northern side, and the major part of town still is, but there has been some spread to the south. The Todd River passes through the range at Heavitree Gap, as do the Stuart Highway and the railway line.

Roasted a chicken and vegetables for tea.

John was able to watch football on TV in the evening.
