Advantages: Nice insight into the controversial aspects to Roy's playing career Disadvantages: Doesn't cover his time at Celtic, or any of his managerial work
I have to admit that when my beloved Ipswich Town FC appointed Roy Keane as manger a couple of months ago I was a little sceptical. Most of what I knew about Roy came from the press and news coverage, most of it negative, which seemed to follow him around. Determined to give the latest bastion of the Ipswich hot seat a fair crack of the whip I set about finding out a little more about the man behind the hype and headlines. My Brother recommended his autobiography which he?d penned in 2002 with the help of journalist Eamon Dunphy, so I gave it a read.
Roy Maurice Keane was born in Cork, Ireland in the summer of 1971, the fourth of five children. He was a mediocre performer at school, preferring to be out kicking a ball around than in a class studying. A smattering of junior Irish clubs came calling, most notably Rockmount. He ...
Advantages: Magical, once ina life time experience, must see! Disadvantages: Heat
Ayers Rock is roughly in the centre of Australia, having visited it in 2001, it is a once in a life time experience. We actually went to Australia for three weeks, we stayed with family for a week and a half and then travelled the rest. I would say if your going that far you have to at least see some of the amazing sights!! Though when we told our nieghbour where we were going and that we were visiting Ayers Rock their response was ''A bloody long way to go see a rock!!' Which I guess many people might agree with but maybe I can change your minds!
*Getting there*
Ayers Rock is literally in the middle of know where. The easiest way to get there is (This is how we got there!) by plane. The nearest airport is Alice Springs and the trip lasts about 50minutes. If your not a keen flyer then brace yourselves as the actual airport ...
Advantages: Mystical, amazing, heart of Australia Disadvantages: Can be a bit 'touristy', miles away from anywhere
Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is located 465km Southwest of Alice Springs (about 4.5hr drive) along the Stuart Highway and Lasseter Highway. Because of the popularity of this area in the last 50 yeas or so, it has become a lot more limited to what you can actually do there. You used to be able to drive up and just camp next to Ayers Rock but nowadays visitors stay in Yularu or Ayers Rock resort which is about 14km away from Ayers Rock. There is also an entrance to the park which means nobody can stay within the park itself overnight. The opening hours of the park change but take into account the times of sunrise and sunset so you can always watch them in the park. A pass into the park costs just under $30 (12 pounds) for 3 days but this is the minimum you can pay for (i.e. if you only want to go for one day you still get this 3 day ...
