Uluru

Lesson learnt the hard way. Always book ahead! Ended up being put out in the Overflow section with about 120 other vans and trailers. Had 3 nights without power but battery and solar panels doing the job just fine. had 2 big days at the rock. The highlight being the ride around the rim track, Cameron giving everyone a high five on the way past! Sunset was much more spectacular than sunrise. Olgas also very impressive. Off to kings canyon today (unpowered again) and will be without service for a few days. Next check in at Alice. These are a few photos from glens phone. Better ones from the camera to follow.

Tips: One thing to consider when coming here is the distance it is to drive from the resort to Uluru and the Olgas so maybe take extra Gerry cans filled with petrol or fill up at Uluru or Curtain Springs (we paid $2.24 at Curtin Springs). It takes between 20-50 min to drive to the two rocks but to compensate the rates to get into the national park are reasonable. Only $25 per adult for three days and kids under 16 are free. If you are staying in the overflow area you can bring a small cauldron to have a fire. Wish we had one of these. There is only 1 camp kitchen to cater for hundreds of people and cold showers by 5pm.
