Bus Tour day

Anzac Day is a big day in Alice,  not least because after Darwin it was the most affected city in Oz during the Second World War. It is also the only day we could go to see the West Macdonnell Ranges so we missed the commemorations in town.
Sheldon collected us early,  along with 14 others, and headed west.
Geographic highlights of gaps, gorges and a chasm. Personal highlight was a helicopter ride above Glen Helen Gorge.  Sat in the front beside Jesse the pilot with no door between me and the ground. Little unnerving with the wind over the hills but too excited to worry.  All too short.
