| Mount Gillen |
Day 2 in Alice Springs began nice and early, with a 5.30 am start. We were on the walking track by 6 am, watching the sun come up as we trudged through the foothills and headed up Mount Gillen. This particular track is a popular one, with many locals making a weekly walk up to the summit to admire the view across Alice Springs in one direction, and the far reaching desert in the other direction. We were back down the mountain and in town by 10 am, where we spent the rest of the day resting at Mum's place and mooching about in the mall, trying to stay cool.

In the evening, we met up with one of Mum's friends for a BBQ at Telegraph Station (where we walked on day 1). Here, we enjoyed bubbles with our kangaroo steaks while watching the sun set over the desert land.
