Well the overflow camping area emptied out with an exodus of cars off to see the sunrise show bright and early. It’s 20km from Yulara to Uluru, plus the anxiety of getting a spot in The Car Park. We left them to it and skipped the crowds. John rode out to The Rock and did a circuit round it, which we will do together tomorrow.
But today was Kata Tjuta day. The best walk to do is the Valley of the Winds – about 7.5km in a loop. This walk takes you between the big boulders, with great views all the way. My knees are screaming with frustration at having to do this walk, but I’ll settle the argument with a bag of frozen peas later this evening.
Here’s a couple of pics from this morning.


And I like this one – it has heaps of beautiful purple wildflowers in the foreground.

The birds have been singing everywhere we’ve stayed so far, and on this walk we found these Budgerigars. Can’t be more specific. I’ve let my bird watching skills drop since Africa.
