Simpson's Gap It was a magnificent landscape. The colors and the textures were amazing, so different anything we had experieced before.

We had booked this full day tour, but it had been cancelled and the travel agent hadn't received notification, so couldn't advise us, so we got up early, waited for 90 minutes, and then walked into town to try and find the AAT Kings office. The office is NOT where it's listed on the website - in fact it doesn't exist. The phone number on the itinerary to contact AAT Kings just goes through to a recorded message, saying ring back during office hours. Not much use when you're waiting at 7 am for a tour that doesn't arrive. Eventually the Tourist Information office in Todd Mall was able to help us by providing a phone number - when we eventually got through AAT Kings said we'd been rebooked on "A Town Like Alice" half day tour commencing at 1:15pm. The Tourist Information office said we were the third complaint they had had that morning (by 10:00am) about an AAT Kings tour bus not turning up. The shorter tour was fine - but that's not what we booked or wanted. Had I known in advance, I would have just hired a car do visit the local sights which would have been cheaper and quicker. Disappointing to have this happen while we were in Alice Springs.
