We went and checked at the local market held at the Todd Mall. Was ok, got to see local art at the galleries too. Saw a few things I liked but was out of my price range (like always).
After the markets we went for a drive around town for look, the kids fell asleep so we couldn't go into any museums or the like.
Went out to tea at the local club and had a fantastic roast, could choose from four types of meat. Outside was a massive playground and jumping pillow for the kids. When it was time to go home Harry and Will were quite disappointed.

West MacDonnell Ranges are definitely something to look at. The photos we took don't do it justice. We stopped off at Ellery Creek Big Hole for morning tea and the boys enjoyed a nudie dip in the cool waters of the swimming hole.

Big drive today, Alice Springs to Ayers Rock. The journey was worth it though, the sight of The Rock is awesome.

We tried to go for a walk, you can walk right around it if you like (10.6km) but the kids have pointed out that they don't like walking, which means they make us not enjoy it very much either. We did however cover a short distance and saw the location of where you can climb the rock if it is open.

Visited the cultural centre they have at Ayers Rock. While we were there, a few presenters from NIT and SBS, along with Ernie Dingo and other aboriginals were also there for the first broadcast of the NIT onto SBS.
We left the cultural centre and travelled to Kata Tjuta. Had lunch and did a little walking.

Tonight we will go out to the rock again and watch the sunset.
