Day 321 - 328 Alice Springs Part 7

We travelled out to the East MacDonnell's, in Emily Gorge we saw some more Aboriginal Cave Art, these were fairly prominent and not surrounded by cages!
We also saw some weird stuff...this little thing was attached to the front of our next door caravan....no it's not real...they just brought it with them and put it outside whenever they are in a "Not Pet Friendly" caravan park...each to their own sense of humor!
Talking of humor, we were at the Woman Pioneer Centre and came across this display, each year there is a competition for design of outfits using only recycled material. Blow it up so you can check it out..the black mannequin on the right has feral cats heads as breast plates...and the white mannequin on the left is covered in cards.
We had heard a lot about this quilt...it is over three hundred blocks with signed sections on each block. These signatures are from pioneering women in all fields, so sport, media, design, law, doctors etc.. The lady in the shot is Wendy, who was one of the ladies involved in the making of this treasure.
Anzac Hill is exactly that a hill, this shot is looking down the main street to the Gap in the MacDonnell Ranges.
