Friday 16th May.
Today we caught the bus at the main gate into town, had a good look around, did a small amount of shopping, lunch in the food hall of the large centrally located shopping mall, then caught a return bus to near the convention centre and WALKED across the Todd River again.
Tonight the re was the traditional Friday night dinner, however this year it took a totally different format. The venue was an open air concert adjacent to the food vendors where everyone purchased their own dinner, sat at one of the many tables with friends having a drink or two or three while enjoying the music from the band and dancing. We declined to dance for obvious reasons but still had a wow of a time. The theme for the night was a Beach Party, based on the fact that Alice Springs is the closest town in Australia to ALL THE BEACHES AROUN D THE COUNTRY.
many of the attendees dressed in all manner of beach attire to add to the flavour of the night.
