This post I'm going to tell about my outback adventure with my friends at Central Australia for 4 days and 3 nights. It was a trip that we postponed since April due to other commitments. Although there's only desert and stones, it's actually a very unique and beautiful place. From Adelaide, we took Tiger Airways from Adelaide to Alice Springs.Once landed, we got our rented car from the airport and head to Alice Spring Desert Park. The parks consists of three areas that showcased the plants and animals that can be found in Central Australia. You can also see the MacDonnell range from the park. Next, we head to Simpsons Gap. Simpsons Gap is one of the scenic gap of West MacDonnell range and it's one of the most prominent waterhole. We also saw a rock wallaby on one of the rocks at the gap. After that, we went to checked in at our accommodation and we went out again after a quick dinner. We went to Anzac Hill Lookout that night. Its a memorial place for all Australian ar

On 14th July, I went to Adelaide, South Australia. It was a few days stop before we went to Alice Springs in the Northern Territory (will update soon). Once we landed in Adelaide, Ciktie and I took a bus to my childhood friend's (Liyana) place nearby. Her house was only 15 minutes away from the airport and you can even hear the planes fly above her house. We had currypuff there. It was delicious, thanks yana for the food. Next stop, we head to another friend's place (Bani, Effa and Syifa) a bit outskirt of town. This was our accommodation throughout our stay in Adelaide.  After we had nasi goreng for our lunch, all of us fell asleep. I think it was due to the cold weather and our stomach was full. Later on in the afternoon, we head to Adelaide city and walked around Rundle Mall (Adelaide Street Mall) and around University of Adelaide.  Around the city       University of Adelaide Library at uni of Adelaide The next day, another two friends: Amir and Kacan
