Paro Market is the end of the Darwin trip. An Qingju and Yunluo took the afternoon Qantas flight to the first stop of the Red Centre that they had longed for: Alice Springs.

Alice Springs, a very romantic name, reminds Yunluo of the piano piece "To Alice" played by Richard that she liked to listen to a long time ago; this name is hard to associate with the desert town in the center of Australia. However, this small place called Alice Springs has a rich pioneering history, adventures and Aboriginal art and culture.

It also leads south to Uluru-Katatjuta (uluru-katatjuta nationbsp;&&es) across Alice Springs, and also distributes magical scenery in this area. This mountain range was formed by a crustal movement 310-340 million years ago and is still one of the most famous natural landscapes in central Australia.

"The beauty of Alice Springs is pure beauty. Its beauty comes from the boundless earth and the endless sky. The stars are so bright and crystal, and the shining Milky Way seems to be within reach," said historian Dick Kimber.

Alice Springs, outlined by the MacDonnell Ranges and a vast desert, is Australia's most famous inland city. Alice Springs is called a relay station of the Raphline by its traditional owners, the (Arrernte) Aboriginal people.

The introduction of camels, the development of animal husbandry, the discovery of gold in alluvial deposits and the remote geographical location have created a unique Aboriginal community culture in Alice Springs, as well as a large number of unique festivals and activities.

Alice Springs is full of stories of Australian history and tradition, with legendary figures ranging from Afghan camel riders, flying doctors and outback explorers. Today, there are still many attractions in and around the town that link to these legends for generations to come.

A wonderful day in Alice Springs started with a hot air balloon ride in the morning - floating in Alice Springs. The morning in the desert is still quite cool. We picked up An Qingju and Yunluo to go on a hot air balloon ride. It was Yunluo's first time to ride a hot air balloon. It was quite exciting!

At 4 a.m. in the Alice Springs sky, the vast sky is dotted with stars, and the clouds are so close to the stars that it is appropriate to describe them as "you can pick the stars with your hands."

When I was in Melbourne, I dreamed of riding a hot air balloon over the city or winery, but this wish was not realized until the clouds landed in Alice Springs in the Northern Territory. Travel is like life, it also pays attention to "the right time, the right place, and the right people". How did the two staff members of <' skillfully blow up a huge "package" into a hot air balloon that can accommodate 16 passengers.

It took about 30 minutes from the time we took all the equipment off the car to the time the balloon took off. Of course, we would occasionally ask passengers to help pull the sides of the balloon so that the hot air could "rush" into the balloon as quickly as possible.

"This deep red round thing suddenly emitted a dazzling light that hurt people's eyes, and the clouds next to it suddenly became bright." This famous sentence from Lao She's "Sunrise at Sea" is also applicable to the desert sunrise in Alice Springs.

Facing the red desert in the morning sun, Yunluo was a little surprised: This is clearly a green area, how can it be related to the desert? This winding red soil road leads all the way to the center of the world.

The clouds fell into the "oasis" and I saw many unknown small animals. The hot air balloon descended, and a shadow like a wine glass was imprinted on the ground.

After landing, it would take the joint efforts of the pilot and all the passengers to put such a huge thing back into the bag. Yunluo wondered how it could be put back in, just like how the giant thing that was accidentally released in the fairy tale was put back into the small bottle.

All the passengers were busy helping to pack, and the big balloon became what it looks like in the picture. The long shadow on the lower right is the fish taking the picture.

After the one-hour hot air balloon flight, An Qingju and Yunluo had a special champagne breakfast in the desert. The breakfast included bread, sausages and fruits. Price: 385 Australian dollars. One-hour flight and breakfast. The price is still not cheap. The next place is. <& park) is a must-see place for tourists coming to Alice Springs. The park has won many awards and ranks first among similar parks.

The park's main attractions include the various exotic animals and plants in the Australian desert, the stunning inland scenery, and the traditional performances of the local Aboriginal people.

After visiting the desert park, visitors will have a new understanding of the magical central Australia: here, the desert is no longer seen as a barren land; it has a rich and diverse natural environment, exuberant life and thousands of unknown stories waiting to be discovered and told.

Alice Springs Desert Park looks like any other natural park in the Northern Territory, with the same blue sky, jagged rocks, and countless desert plants turning green in the rainy season. However, this award-winning park houses all kinds of unique plants and animals in the Australian desert and the cultural heritage of the Aboriginal people.

A rare lens captured this harmonious moment. The desert park is managed by Australian aborigines and displays the unique flora and fauna of the central Australian desert, allowing visitors to appreciate the various styles of the desert. The park is divided into: desert area, sandy land and woodland.

I like to watch the bird show in the desert park flying gracefully over the desert. Although the desert is hard to smell in the lush green, the green of the jungle sets off its beautiful flying form.

An indoor desert ecological museum. If you look closely at the picture, you will see an insect that looks like a branch, which is so camouflaged that it is hard to tell whether it is real or fake. The ecological museum is the largest reptile exhibition in the Northern Territory. From pythons as small as arms to pythons as big as tree trunks, plus various types of desert lizards, you will definitely make the trip worthwhile.

There is also a very interesting performance in the desert park: an introduction to the aboriginal lifestyle. The upper left picture shows the distribution of more than 400 aboriginal tribes in Australia. There are more than 400,000 aboriginal people in Australia, 60%-80% of whom are concentrated in the Northern Territory. Each tribe has a small territory, and some small tribes only have dozens of people.

The lower left picture shows various plants and fruits picked by the indigenous people in the desert. Some of them have medicinal properties, some are ground into powder and used as raw materials for bread, and some are decorative. The right picture shows the indigenous staff member introduced to An Qingju and Yunluo. He actually has some white bloodline. Next to him are the indigenous people's hunting and fire-making tools.

The stone aboriginal grinding tool, the boomerang and shield next to it are hunting tools; the lower left picture shows the hair of the aboriginals, who would braid their hair into a ring, hang it on their body or use it as a cushion for their bowl.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

At present, the telephone is the main way to consult and diagnose, and the plane is the main tool for providing emergency assistance. While tourists are visiting, doctors are working, and the guides are talking nonstop, because ticket revenue is also one of the sources of funds for the medical team. The medical rescue equipment in the plane is quite advanced.

Alice Springs is actually a city with a long history. Its importance stems from its location in the heart of Australia. More than a hundred years ago, as Adelaide and Darwin were 3,000 kilometers apart, the rulers at the time wanted to build a highway to connect the north and south. They happened to discover springs near Alice Springs and chose this place as a telegraph transfer station.

After leaving the Flying Medical Service's visit site, An Qingju and Yunluo came to the Alice Springs Telephone and Telegraph Station. These attractions are very close to each other and can be reached in about 10 minutes by car. The Alice Springs Telephone and Telegraph Station was built in 1872. This ancient stone building (upper left) displays many types of telegraph machines and precious cameras, and also tells the various hardships of the early opening of Alice Springs. The wheel of history rolls over the world.

The achievements of the predecessors laid the foundation for the development of the later generations. During the Second World War, this telegraph station played a vital role in the communication between Australia and Britain.

This clear spring water is why Alice is called "The Spring". In fact, the aboriginals of Alice Springs knew that there was no spring water in the desert. (To be continued...)
