The drive to Ayers rock and the Olga's was very long but quit scenic in places with lots of different rock formations. At Ayers Rock (or Uluru they call is as well ) they have created a whole village just 15min outside the National park , where everybody can find their sort of accommodation . Even though is was low season there were plenty of bu...

Ash climbed The Rock yesterday, so this morning we were off to the Kata Tjuka walks.
Kata Tjuka used to be called The Olgas (named by European explorers in 1800's) The name has been changed back to aboriginal named around 1985? when the land was given back to their control. They share this control with the National Parks people and work with...

Today was our designated rock day. As this is also our honeymoon, we had decreed that it was going to be relaxing, so none of that stupid sunrise at Uluru **** for us. It didn't occur to us that there were other reasons for the touristy enthusiasm for early rising in the desert, until we realised how hot it was outside. Still, Uluru is a tourist...

We motored out of Alice around 9am and set off towards Uluru. Even though we programmed it into the GPS, it was entirely unnecessary as there were about four turns in the whole trip, so whenever the device did speak, it gave us a start, as it hadn't spoken for the past two hours.

At our first (exciting) 130 kph sign, there were two eagle...

Wir sind mit unserem Camper (fuer die Techniker Toyota Landcruiser 4500 ccm V8 Turbo Diesel) zum Uluru aufgebrochen. Mit ein paar Stopps zwischendurch haben wir fuer die ca. 450 km fast 6 h gebraucht.


Am Abend sind wir zur Sunset Area und haben uns - wie fast alle anderen auch - den beeindruckenden Sonnenuntergang angesehen.

Early Sunday we began our camping safari in the outback. There were 22 of us the bus, plus our trusty guide Ray. Emilie and I were the only Americans, and ages ranged from 20+ to 60+. First, we visited Uluru (Ayers Rock), and the nearby cultural center. What an awesome rock! It is said to be the largest monolith in the world, and a World Heritag...

Tuesday 29th September

Got a start on the road (about 8am when we left) and immediately wished we had left earlier because the day was SO windy from about 7.30 onwards.
We chewed through the petrol and had to try to make a conscious effort not to think about it as its inevitable that we are going to spend sh**loads of money on fuel !!<...

Da jeg skulle reise fra Sydney til Yulara (Ayers Rock airport / Uluru airport) var det "dust storm" i Sydney - sandstorm altsaa. Dette er ikke noe som skjer saerlig ofte, men selvsagt maatte det skje den dagen jeg skulle fly til orkenen og henge meg paa en tur der. Jeg ble sittende noen timer paa flyplassen og tenkte med meg selv at naa gaar hel...

So we made it to our final destination in the desert. Ayers Rock. We stayed at an oasis of a place called "Sails in the desert". Beautiful place, nice pool, nice restaurants, great staff. In the middle of the desert!!! It's very red and very hot. We will go out to see Uluru. This huge mountain in the desert. We don't plan on climbing because the...

First stop on my outback adventure is Yulara, the gateway to Uluru (Ayer's Rock) and Kata Tjuta (The Olgas).

We stayed at Ayer's Rock Resort Campground, about 10 minutes drive from Uluru. The campground itself was nice although it was crawling with wild rabbits which meant you had to be careful with leaving food lying around or your tent ...
