I'm volunteering in the art studio that runs there, so that I can get food and board. Other than that I'm going native.
My daughter wants me to be a duel national like her, (she couldn't be English for a while, despite being born in London - rules of the time only recently changed, I think). I'm a vow away from becoming a citizen this year so I thought I'd grab some real Aussie experiences beyond drinking at the opera house and catching a footie game. I've already turned down pig hunting.

P.S. Did you ever see the show Bush Mechanics on SBS? You're SOFT if you think you can only get there in a 4WD!
I was thinking it didn't sound right. I've been told to get the twice a week bus from Alice Springs for $80 a time. Advice to prop up the local ecomomy maybe? In any case, my car is a PT Cruiser which isn't even built for a pot hole. Hiring a 4x4 is the same cost as flying and taking the bus so may as well let others do the work. If I had a 4x4 I would definately go for it though.
