Having spent the night at a wayside stop with several other campers we headed off. The scenery for the rest of SA was fairly repetitive with large flat acres and acres of small bushes but as soon as we hit the NT border we had large rocky outcrops and hills. We fuelled up at Erldunda which is very to the exact centre of Australia and then headed down the Lasseter Hwy towards Uluru. We are now camped at a camp spot 137 kms out of Uluru. The sun is shining and not too many flies so we have enjoyed the balance of the afternoon sitting reading.
THE OLGAS- 18th June
We pulled into the Ayers Rock Resort today, sounds fancy and some of it is but we are in the campground. After setting up we headed to the Olgas.
AMAZING is the best description I could give for the Olgas. They are a 110 km round trip from Uluru. We did the 10km “Valley of the Winds” walk through and around the Olgas.
It was quite difficult and steep, both going up and coming down, in places but well worth it. Towering steep sided domes on all sides, interspersed with small crystal clear creeks. I would say that this is one of those “must do before you die” activities. We were overawed and absolutely loved the place. We stayed for the sunset viewing and overall took heaps of photos and then headed home for a long hot shower to ease the aches and pains and get us prepared for the clim of Uluru tomorrow.
