Yesterday we attended a bbq to learn more about the event happening in Alice Springs in April.It was nice to meet others who will also be going to NT for the Mega event.
It is a Geo Caching event sponsored by NT government and they are hoping for over 500 people, they havent quite got the numbers yet. The bbq was free and we got some promotional material to put into caches to let others know that it is happening.
It was held on the banks of the Brisbane River not far from the Airport, great place for a get together.
We will be leaving here early April and taking a leisurely trip up and over with a few days in the Gemtree caravan park which is famous for its gem and anything to do with gems. After the event we will go down through Sth Aust across to Melbourne before returning home.
We have house sitters looking after the house and Lucy, she has met them and has given her approval.
NT Government are putting in several thousand dollars to aid tourism and some of it is going to the placement of caches, 1400 of them in and around Alice and further afield. The aim is to have a bitumen road connecting Perth through Alice to Townsville. It will cost millions but will open up the outback no end.
