AYERS ROCK ADVENTURE: Day 4: The last day.

Well this was the last day and a sad one too. Time to come back to reality. We had a small breakfast, finished packing and went looking for the cache. Can you see it? Top photo. Jayne found it after we spent 1/2 hour tromping through the bush, then it was out to the airport and back to Sydney.

AYERS ROCK ADVENTURE: Day 3

Sorry about the slow posting, but have been very busy. Day 3 saw us go to Katu Tjuta also known as the Olgas, about a 1 hour drive from the resort I forgot to name Yulara. Another spectacular rock formation and sacred to the Aborigines. @ walks of about 2 hours and 1 hour saw us walk through the "Valley of the Wind" formation that was about 7 km and our way to the second walk I spotted a wild Camel lying in the sun. The second walk into Olga Gorge (Tatintjawiya) was beautiful. Then on our way back Jane and I were introduced to "Geo-caching" a kind of treasure hunt where you use a gps using longitude and latitude coordinates to find a cache with a log book and small trinkets. We couldn't find it on that day. Not having a gps didn't help, but with Google earth we could get an approximate location and you will see in the next post. The back to the Pioneer outback bar and grill for lunch & a swim & then dinner and a few more VB's for a hard earned thirst.

AYERS ROCK ADVENTURE: Day 2

Day 2 we were up before sunrise to drive out Uluru and watch the sunrise and walk around it. Beautiful is the only way to describe the sunrise. 9.5 km walk took about 2.5 hours. Then back to the Lost Camel, lunch and a few VB'S (beers) a swim in the pool and back out to watch the sunset. Spectacular!! Dinner and a few more VB'S and bed. Early start tomorrow.

AYERS ROCK ADVENTURE: Day 1

The 11th of April saw us fly out to Uluru (Ayers Rock) With the Scotts. Spent the first afternoon and evening getting aquanted with our new home. The Lost Camel Hotel. Choose to stay at the resort and watch the sunrise and sunset there on the following day. So after a few VB'S for a hard earned thirst and a large cook it your self steak we retired for the night.

THE DISH

Monday so three of the Scotts and myself head west to Parkes and "THE DISH" a radio telescope made famous in an Australian film by the same name. After spending the night in a small cabin with submarine type bunks for Ben and myself and a large bed for the adults, we visited the DISH and the headed further west to visit several small towns finishing up it WOODSTOCK and then headed back to Sydney.
