STANDLEY CHASM and BEYOND


On Monday we drove out to Standley Chasm. The road on the way out was covered in water in a few places because of all teh rain, but we could get through. Even on the walk we had to rock hop along the usually dry creek bed. The walls of the chasm are really high and dark red.

We then drove out to Hermannsburg. It"s an old settlement established by a Lutheran priest. The buildings are quite run down now but it would have been a very productive place back then.


Yesterday it poured rain and now the Todd River is flowing. It even goes over the road near the caravan park. Our plans for the day were ruined so Dad went to the transport museum while us girls went shopping.

Today we visited the School of the Air. We watched a short video about how it works. It would be easy working like that as you can get your school work done quickly if you hook in. We also went to the telegaph station and the "Old"Alice Springs.
