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.
