Uluru (Ayer's Rock....is huge)
So after driving for foreverness we finally get to Uluru were we can't find a cheap (cheap as in free) place to camp because the only thing that's out there is the resort which contains lodges, hotels, or a campground. Guess which one we picked? Right-o ...

The big red rock
We awoke at 5am, rather depressed, to get on our minibus for our 3 day trip. I don't think anyone understands how cold it is out here at the moment - it was getting pretty cold at night in Sydney but out here it's about -1 at night and only gets to 17 in ...

Day EIGHT
We upgraded our campsite today by moving into the powered sites, so today we would miss the guided tour around the base of Uluru but no matter we had something else planned. After the hassle of moving the van 500m we went to Kata Tjuta which means "many ...
