Evening Under the Stars

On a glorious desert evening under the stars at the Olive Pink Botanic Garden Cafe in Alice Springs our group of 30-some travelers enjoyed an Australian steak "barbie" and stories and songs... a whole repertoire of outback and Australian ditties. Wendy was pressed into service accompanying us on the lagerphone (a vertical pole covered with beer bottle caps, with cross pieces of board, played and pounded with a notched stick!). It sounded fabulous!?!

"Dessert" was a presentation on the southern hemisphere sky. Orion was standing on his head, and the southern cross just visible on the horizon. Cool.

Google "Olive Pink" to find out more about this outback woman... She sounds fascinating.
