On day 2 in Alice Springs, we headed out on the road heading towards Uluru, following the Macdonnell Ranges. Along the way, there were many places to stop to look, walk or swim. We mainly stuck to swimming in the very full and beautiful water holes since it was so hot. It was a wonderful time to be seeing the desert ... an unusual amount of rain has meant that the water holes are full, the landscape is green rather than red, and there is wildlife everywhere.
