The Red Centre

On Thursday night (9th August 2012) we stayed on the SA-NT border, ready for our trip to Uluru the next day.

We had an amazing afternoon at Uluru, we did a short walk around the base of the rock, and even though Mal and Liam wanted to climb the rock, the climb was closed. These are just a few of the great photos that we were able to take. (left)

We watched the sunset over Kata tjutu, which is 60klms away from Uluru, the colors in the desert at sunset are amazing. This photo does not really show the amazing blues and purples in the sky. 

On Saturday (11th August) we headed to Kings Canyon, which was 210 klms away from our campground, just a short drive in the scheme of things. 

We did the valley walk- rather than the cliff top climb. It has been nice to break up the driving with walks through such stunning scenery, even when we are driving there is always something to see, as the desert landscape seems to be forever changing.

We spent the night in Alice Springs last night and we are heading north towards Darwin today. We are hoping to make it to Wycliffe Well - where there have been many alien sightings. Liam is very concerned but fascinated at the same time. We will let you know if we make contact with whatever is out there.
