Uluru-Kata Tjuta Cultural Centre Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park

Anangu Land, Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, Yulara. That's Ayers Rock if you were in any doubt. Yes, my faithful followers, we are at 'the rock', staying in the only place you can if you visit the area - and that's within the Voyages Ayers Rock Resort. We are in the Sails In The Desert Hotel.

Will write about hotel first. It's expensive …

Agness Creek se je izkazal za mirno počivališče, čeprav leži dokaj blizu ceste. Prometa ponoči praktično ni bilo. Kljub temu sva se zbudila zgodaj, še v temi. Najini edini sosedi, družina s tremi otroci so še sladko spali, zato pa so se že pričele oglašati papige, ko sva odrinila na …

This morning started with a near miss. My alarm sounded loud and proud. I turned it off, rose from my bottom bunk, hit my head on the top bunk, laid down to rub the bump, shut my eyes, and went instantly back to sleep. Now, despite my cynicism about certain things, one thing I do believe in is my body and my subconscious work together when my …

Well we thought we'd have a relatively easy day today, we have since learnt that with everything to do an easy day is still very busy! We thought we'd have a lie in, which for me meant about 7.15 and half an hour later for everyone else, you will learn I do not know how to sleep in. Brad decided we all deserved some bacon and eggs after yesterday's …

So, that's it! Our LAST trainride and our LAST trainsleep! After 24 hours, we arrived in Alice Springs and ready for our second last Australian adventure.




What can I say . . . was this fun or what!
We started out with a 5:45am …

Our flight from Cairns to Ayers Rock was uneventful. We changed time zones and needed to adjust our watches - one half hour! Never heard of that before but it was true - Ayers Rock was 30 minutes behind the time in Cairns - apparently there are a few of these half-hour time zones - it was the first one we ever encountered.

Ayers Rock …

Today we had a lay in...woke at 7.15am!! Went straight to the supermarket to try and buy breakfast and lunch without breaking the bank!! We did exceptionally well and only spent $24! Off we went to Uluru with our picnic, ready to tackle the 11km base walk!! It was longer than yesterday's walk round Kings Canyon but the terrain was at least flat! …

We started our day early and was up at 5:00am for breakfast, we'd all moved into the shelter as it had started to rain over night!!! Anyway next stop was the showers, at this point I think this was the best thing that has EVER happened to me :-)!!! There's being dirty and at one with nature but I was filthy and have never smelt so bad (not even …

We'll today’s blog is going to focus on the word "breathe" in many more respects than I ever expected when we came back to Australia. Seriously, I got a run for my money with this word over the past 2.5 days.

Let’s start with the word breathe as in breathalyzer! Yes, we’re a few hundred clicks into the Northern Territory …
