The morning news reads "Shark ruins perfect day at Bondi Beach". Turns out it was a Bull shark, spotted 200 m from the shore. It had been lulled there by a bait ball of small fish, and was trying to trap these against the shore - scaring a fair few swimmers in the process. The shark alarm must've gone off just before we got to the beach.

Today was my dever domestic flight! It was weird being able to take as much liquid as I wanted onto the flight. The Quantas plane was great though, I squashed two films into the three hour flight and made a big mess of a chicken and leek pie, which was nice but basically purée inside and impossible to eat!
Taking my jumper off to exit the plane (the air conditioning was pretty fierce) I walked down the stairs into 35 degree heat. A cloudy and apparently cool day in Alice Springs. The town itself seems fairly small and residential. We got a good tour of it, being almost last to be dropped off from the airport, and saw an interesting mix of generally white tourists and local aboriginal people wandering the streets.
The streets themselves were warm, and the town is split by a 'river' (pictured below) which was more like a red-desert type sand - no sign of any water. Just looking at it made me thirsty!
