Dear Alice,
I hope you still remember me, I came to you back in the 80's and camped by the Todd River.
Ioved the feel of your sand between my toes.
Your rocky hills were just so beautiful both at sunrise and sunset.

I visited Uluru with a very dear friend years ago. My favourite memory was the sunset helicopter ride. I would love to take my partner who has never visited so we can experience this magical place together.

I was there a few years back. It was a hard time in my life with lots of uncertainty. I was part of a youth group tour to kings canyon. I was so low but being out there with the vastness and the warm sun helped me appreciate the eternalness of this

Dear Alice Springs

There’s something about you that’s impossible to put into words, though I’ll try. From the moment I catch sight of your rust-red hills from the air, my heart knows it’s home. You hold a beauty so raw and unique that
