Desert Park & Wycliffe Well

We started the day with a visit to Alice Springs Desert Park – definitely worth a visit as we got to see and find out the names of many animals we had seen whilst in the area. We were able to come close to Black Kites, Falcons and Boobook owls. In the Nocturnal house we viewed many animals we hadn’t seen such as the Quoll, Potoroo and the Hopping mouse! There were also many smaller birds in the open aviaries, beautiful to see and listen to.



We then departed Alice and headed towards Wycliffe Well for a night with the aliens. This place is known for the most UFO sightings in Australia – boasting thousands of visits over the years (the walls of the road house are covered with newspaper articles and pictures) The roadhouse also seems to be a failed tourist park as there were statues of the hulk, Elvis and star trek men. Luckily we weren’t abducted but not a lot of sleep was had by Vanessa.
