Sleeping on Picnic Tables - Live from Alice Springs

An email sent yesterday by Laura from her tour of Uluru (Ayer's Rock):

JP and I made it back from the The Rock tour a few minutes ago. We had a great time! It poured rain and was 13 degrees the first night and instead of seeing the sunset at Ayers Rock we saw waterfalls!!! and then today it was 43 degrees in the shade as we hiked Kings Canyon. To make things even more interesting our bus broke down and we had to spend 3 hours waiting for a replacement to be shipped in from Alice Springs. It was a looooong day and I am looking forward to sleeping in a bed tonight.

We slept in a swag outside on top of a picnic table last night as there were scorpions roaming freely on the ground! One of them made his home in the entrance to the ladies toilet so that made a trip to pee a bit of an adventure!!!

We are ready to sleep now and will be off to Adelaide tomorrow.

Now you know how important it is to have a picnic table. So if you need one, makers of park equipments are just on the web for online purchasing.
