Christmas and New Year in Alice

Chicken legs cooks chicken. Due to the stress of cooking, James forgot pants. Needless to say, Victor got a fright on arrival

After seeing a photo of her 2 year old niece using all her presents at once, Min decided to do the same things (yes, the t-shirt does say "I love Mini"... talk about self obssessd)

Family portrait. We adopted two of the other doctors (Adam and Victor) as our children for the day. There is an uncanny family resemblance


Thank you Bill Granger. Your simple yet delicious food has turned us into food wankers


Min and her first born Victor

View over Alice Springs from Mt Gillen

Adam's T-shirt is referring to the fact that 1 in 3 people die climbing Mt Gillen. Luckily, we all made it

Best photo so far

NYE at Ormiston gorge. 130km west of Alice
Beers at the gorge

After a lovely glamping meal (Neil Perry Morrocan chicken with rice pilaf), we cut loose. Told you we were food wankers




Going for a midnight swim in the gorge to bring in the new year. Dave made us take the ipod speaker and play Nightswimming by REM. In Dave's own words... "magical"


Peaceful contemplation at Simpson gap

Nanna napping on the way home. Sleep well bearded beauty

The predicted weather this week. Yes, the temperature was 33.7 at 8.30am!

We had a wonderful time over christmas and new year. Thanks for visiting Dave! We loved having you.
Two more weeks and we are done up here. It has been very eye opening and really enjoyable. We will be sad to go.
Next stop Tassie via South Australia and Victoria (Trev and Phil, can we crash at yours in Melbourne?)
Stay tuned...
