Reporter: Doug Oldfield A mid-year break was needed. Amanda deserved some time off between jobs so Doug took her to the Red Centre. Ayers Rock/Uluru was the first stop with dawn viewings, walking the rock base, sunset viewing, Field of Light and of course Kata Tjuta/The Olgas all kept us busy and enthralled.  A Nissan X-Trail was the vehicle of choice as we headed north-east to Kings Canyon. Doug like a mountain lion clambered the Rim Walk in record time and Amanda walked the Kings Creek walk enjoying the spectacular views.  The drive to The Alice was a bit rough with vast kilometres of gravel road but the colours of the red centre were on display. Hermannsburg for a short stop where we learned of the Lutheran missionaries and the hard life they lead in the early days. Finally to Alice Springs where we took in all the sights and the history of the region. Our Red Centre is truly a special place, quite spiritual and very peaceful. It is a definite must for those who’ve not been yet.
