Journey to the red centre

After we'd finished the mine tour on the Sunday morning we all piled back into the bus and carried on our way up to Alice Springs. We stopped for a quick photo op at the South Australia/Northern Territory border as can be seen above. The photo looks a bit clearer if you view it full screen.

A little later we stopped for lunch then our next stop was to see Dinky the singing dingo. He's a tamed dingo who lives in a roadhouse in NT and sings when people play the piano. He's a bit of a local legend and has made it into National Geographic magazine and more recently Trivial Pursuit. You can read a bit more about him at:

After leaving Dinky, having been treated to a quick performance, it was only about another hour before we arrived in Alice Springs early in the evening.
