Simpsons Gap and Lantern Parade

We first drove today to a place called Simpsons Gap.  A beautiful gap in the rock cliff with a little pond in the middle.  Then we went to the Aviation Centre and had a close up look at some big planes.  The largest plane was open for the public to go in and take a seat while watching a movie about the planes history which was playing at the front end of the plane.  We then went to 2 more cliff gaps, Emily Gap and Jessie Gap they were smaller both than Simpsons Gap but still pretty and one of them had some aboriginal rock art too.  Then we went back to the caravan for a while.  Later in the afternoon we went to the Lantern Parade which was part of the Alice Desert Festival.  We followed Drummers, lanterns and a float which was just something crazy (I didn't know what it was) up through the streets to a stage where we listened to some Live Aboriginal Music after dark.
