Uluru (Ayres Rock)
500 km later and petrol at $2.16 per litre, we checked into the lodge at Yulara. There is a whole resort dedicated to hosting tourists at this big red rock. Accommodation for all budgets. Which makes Paul happy. We arrived in time to chill by the pool and ...
Coober Pedy via Erldunda to Uluru
... L tells me it was 11 in Melbourne today so we are not really complaining as it was 26 here. Tonight we went for a 'taste of Australia' buffet dinner and taste of Australia it was. Not quite the 'coat of arms pizza' that was on offer in Coober Pedy, ...

My rock fetish is truly being fed here!
We made quite the scenic drive north from Coober Pedy and ended up at the SA/NT Border Free Camp roadside stop. Lovely campsite after a long day's travel. We met some great folk there and picked up a few tips for our travels north. There ended up being ...

Off to the Big Red Rock!
We left Alcie Springs today and headed for the 'Big Red Rock'... it took about 4 hours to get there along the Stuart Highway and then you turn on to the Lasseters Highway. When driving along, we thought we could see the rock in the distance... but it ...
Day 6
I'm awake and it's still dark! We are off to see the sunrise and I'm still not quite awake, moving on auto pilot. To make matters worse a bird that must have jet lag woke us all up about 45 minutes before we needed to and way before dawn. The sunrise ...
The Road Trip (B) Day 11 - Rock on!
... read on the background of the Aboriginals there. I have read a little about the Aboriginals history and beliefs before coming to Australia, however their way of life is so different to that of the Western man that I think some of their beliefs are ...
Yulara and Ayers Rock
Ayers Rock is a good 450 kms from Alice so we set off early and planned to spend a few days there. The drive was fairly uneventful just like driving around the rugged Northern Territory is. On the way Darren caught Niki out by pointing out what she ...

The red centre
It`s a big red rock. Looks quite nice at sunrise and sunset. 4am starts weren`t great though. Had a fly infested walk around it. Ian and James took it on like it was the Olympics 10K power walking, leaving me to enjoy a bit of peace and quiet. And the ...
Aryes Rock
Aryes Rock, or Uluru as the aborigenies call it was fantastic. My flight was delayed by 6 hrs from perth to aryes rock so we got there too late for the first sunset, I met 3 irish girls who were also delayed on the same flight so it was good not to be on ...
Uluru, the Olgas and Kings Canyon
After having another relocation fall through, we hired a car from Alice Camp N Drive for two days. The car included all camping gear which Al assured me "of course it includes a tent". Aye right - turned out to be 'swags' which are just sleeping bag ...
Kata Tjuta Hikes
On the 7th we drove out to do the hikes at Kata-Tjuta, the less well known rock formation, but just as spectacular in it's own way. First we got the rental car and for me this was the first time ever driving on the other side of the road. ...

The second part of my organised tour was 3 1/2 days round the Red Centre, taking in The Olgas, Kings Canyon and Uluru (Ayres Rock). Thankfully it was a later start for this tour at 11am so I was able to have a little bit of a lie in, before organising ...
Uluru - Ayers rock
The Qantas flight was delayed for 6 hours, so they gave us food vouchers and we ate junk food whenever we got bored which was often. Eventually a replacement plane was found and we got on and ate more food before arriving at Alice springs and a hostel ...
Ayers Rock and The Olgas
After the morning hiking at Kings Canyon, drove about 200km to Ayers Rock. My top 3 places to see in Australia were, Sydney, the Great Barrier Reef and Ayers Rock, so this was the last of the build up of the tourist sites I had in mind. We ...
