what a difference a flight makes

Going from Cains to Alice Springs is an eyeopening experience. The differences between the two are vast. Cains is a city on the water which gets a lot of rain during the rainy season and humid temperatures most of the year. Alice Springs on the other hand is very dry and arid and gets very little rainfall. There are also differences two in that their are more aborginal people in Alice Springs then in Cains which leads to more fences surrounding property's. This is to let the aborginal people know what is private and what is public. Aborginals tend to be nomads and this is part of the reason why the fences are put in place. Both of these cities have their charm and it has been a fun experience in each place.
