Over Easter I was a week in Alice Springs, with several trips to the environment. I was particularly pleased me on the day in Hermannsburg, a small Aboriginesiedlung, which was founded over 100 years by missionaries from the German Hermannsburg. Near the church there are still a muse to the story of the missionaries and their work there.
It would have a suitable place to be able to celebrate in peace Good Friday, but as our small group arrived there, has welcomed us only this sign:
Open every day, Christmas and Good Friday
Our Tour Guide knew about anything, because he had only come to help out, but at least we were able to stay for a few photos, and have the rest of the day spent in the beautiful Palm Valley, the only place for miles around, where there are ancient times even palm trees .
As always there to see more photos, click on the pictures here!
The next day Dorothy came from Sydney, and we are together on the Uluru-driven tour.
Alice Springs itself is a fascinating mix of stunning range of tourist attractions, with dozens of hostels and tour services, and the pervasive poverty of the local Aboriginal people. Since there is in the surrounding settlements strict alcohol ban, whose inhabitants come to Alice to get drunk there, and these people you see on the street.
In the supermarket, I have observed how the sale of glue to minors is regulated as glue and petrol (sniff) here the usual drugs are blown away with by the local brain.
Despite high unemployment and poverty among the Aboriginal people I have again heard from various white place, how easy it is to find work in Alice Springs and a separate existence from the ground up.
