ALICE ASHTON’S TRAVEL WEBLOG
During my 35 years as a travel writer, I have visitedmore countries than I can count. I have backpackedthrough Asia, I have cycledthrough Europe, I have drivenacross Africa, but I have never explored my own home, Australia. So the time has come to put this right. Over the next ten days I am planning to explore Australia with my two grandchildren. They, unlike me, want to get to know their own country before they start exploring the rest of the world. Here is a diary of our travels and adventures.
DAY 1. We have done a walking tour of Adelaide, the capital city of South Australia and a big seaport. We have seen a lot of historical buildings and have admired their colonial architecture.
DAY 2. We have taken a boat trip around Discovery Bay.
DAY 3. We have explored numerous caves and grottos near Cape York.
DAY 4. We have rafted on the Broken River. It has been very exciting.
DAY 5. We have visited a thermal reserve and have seen a few spectacular geysers.
DAY 6. We have hiked through a canyon and have seen a number of waterfalls.
DAY 7. We have beenguests at the campfire of an Aboriginal community. We have learned a lot of interesting things about their lifestyle and culture.
DAY 8. We have seen a mob of kangaroos. They are incredibly cute.
DAY 9. In the last 8 days, we have seen and done some amazing things. But nothing compares to the famous Uluru – the largest rock monolith in the world. I have heard about the wonderful changes in the color of the Rock, but until you see it yourself, it's impossible to imagine.
DAY 10. We have just crossed the desert to the modern town of Alice Springs. We are going to miss all the friends wehave madeand all the places wehave visited.
