Below: We spent our last morning in Alice Springs yesterday. These pics are of the Todd River near Lasseters hotel and the Sturt Desert Pea. 

Pics below are of the Ochre Pits which we visited after stopping at Ormiston Gorge in the West Macdonnell Ranges. There is a $5000 fine for removing any of the ochre clay. Ramona the tour guide said the ochre is still used by aborigines for special ceremonies which would not be spoken about to the wider community.

Pics below of beautiful Ormiston Gorge in the West Macdonnell Ranges. It was a cold afternoon but someone still went for a swim at the gorge.
