On our last morning in Alice Springs we went and visited the Alice Springs School of the Air, which was really interesting. School of the Air is the largest school in the world in terms of the area it covers; it is 10 times the size of England! The Alice Springs school is the original school and it averages 120 students a year. We got to watch a lesson taking place while we were in there. Aidan and Cody decided that although the do some cool things in School of the Air they would much prefer to go to their school! Aidan and Cody did dig deep into their pockets to purchase a book to donate to the school because the School of the Air gets the same funding as any other state public school but it costs 15 times as much to run it.

After leaving Alice we didn’t head too far for our first night, pulling up camp at a beautiful place called Rainbow Valley.
