Hi All, we're heading off for 2 and a bit weeks of touring end of next week, travelling from
Gold Coast through outback QLD to see Kings Canyon, Uluru then down to
Lake Eyre and up through
Birdsville. Getting to the point... we've just found out we are able to leave a day early, thinking we will either spend a night and day in
Winton QLD to see
Lark Quarry - or hump it to Alice and get to spend a rest day there rather than just a stopover. (Meeting travelling companions in Alice so day we leave there and head for Kings is fixed). Would appreciate any thoughts as to the best use of our extra day of holiday!

Hi Vin and Lisa
You are planning a lot of travelling over a short period. I would concentrate on Central Australia this time, and spend a week or two around
Winton and
Boulia another time.
The first place we went to in Alice was
the Desert Park. We love nature and spent the whole day there.
Rim walk at Kings Canyon was one of the best walks of the region. My
blogs for 2008 when we spend five weeks in and around Alice are loaded here, but i haven't done much of the 2009 trip as yet, which included
Winton and the fossil country.

Thanks Motherhen, appreciate the advice! Definately trying to pack a fair bit into too short a period of time... the perils of only 4 weeks a year annual leave I'm afraid! Thanks and will
check out your
blogs... Cheers
