Rainbow Valley

I was walking thru the mall oneday, and i came across an auction. The Salvation Army hold it every year to raise money. They had some good things up for auction so i stuck around. Emu Run Tours came up, a trip to Rainbow Valley with a barbeque dinner, so I put in a bet. Blow me down, I got it. $96 for 2 people. They usually sell for around double that price. They picked Mike and I up at 4.00pm and we headed to Rainbow Valley, its about an hour south of Alice. Its yet another rock formation, one of the youngest around here. Only around 20 - 80 million years old. On the edge of it sits a big clay pan, they say not to go onto the middle of the clay pan because it can be soft and you sink into them. We had a look around and found sitting on a rock a little dragon, we would think its a lizard. Mike got a photo then it took off, and it ran on its back legs standing up. It looked so funny. We had a wander around then headed back for some drinks and a very yummy barbeque. It was a very pleasant afternoon, and alot better for Mike than getting beaten at Chess again. Ha ha haha.(I was on a roll).
