Temple Bar, Alice Springs

We're having a lovely, relaxing day just enjoying the sunshine and the quiet here at Temple Bar caravan park.  Philip did all the washing this morning.  Until now we've made use of the laundry facilities at caravan parks but he thought it was about time we tried the portable washing machine. So we let him play with the new toy and went for an explore along the dry creek that runs beside the campground.  The children had fun playing in the sand, climbing trees and finding "pirate treasure" among the stones along the creek bed.  We even found a "pirate cave" in a big hollow tree.  When we came back to the caravan, they had a lovely time setting up a toy farm and feeding the crested pigeons.  It's in the high twenties- nice and warm- with a cloudless blue sky but plenty of shade where we're camped. Just right for a quiet, lazy day!
