Alice Springs

Hard to find a pic for today as we have about 2 dozen taken around Alice Springs and the McDonnell Ranges, and nearly all of them are screen savers. The locals say that they have had over 10 times their normal annual rain so far this year. The rain means that the desert is in bloom with flowers, shrubs, grass and trees splashing colours against the backdrop of the red Mcdonnell Ranges
I picked the shots of the Todd river flowing through Heavitree Gap and also flowing over the road as it is so unusual to see the Todd flowing.
When we first got here there was a trickle over the road that dried up over night, but after a couple of days of rain the Todd was flowing again.
If you look carefully you can just see Tiffany in the bottom right corner, sitting by the flooded road.
We will be moving out on Monday after doing the dog trials for the Alice Springs Obedience Dog Club
