hello alice?

i'm thinking of possibly doing a road trip from melbourne to alice springs - get back to country, check out some of the central desert arrernte/walpiri area and maybe making some works on the way.

but i'm a naive white gal from the 'burbs and don't wanna go blazing in there with blinkers on. anyone got any suggestions? [apart from 'take plenty of water and never leave your car if you break down'..] do artists even do trips to the centre anymore?
