Tuesday 23 July 2013 – Curtain Springs, Kata Tjuta Uluru


No swim this morning as no pool.  Off early (for us) at 8:30am to travel to Kata Tjuta (formerly the Olgas).



Lots of wildflowers on the way.  Upside down flowers and honey grevilleas.





Walked around the Valley of the Winds – first a steep climb to a couple of lookouts and then a pretty walk back through a green valley enclosed by the Kata Tjuta’s heads. 





Plenty of birds – little zebra finches, buggies and parrots.





Rodger found the rocks hard to break – and in fact enjoyed his break at the end of the walk – the bench was just a work of art!




On the way to register for camping we encountered a herd of camels grazing beside the road – the first we have seen up close.



Decided to watch the sunset at Uluru in style – out with the chairs, ginger beer, chips and biscuits and cheese – that would have cost us $200 if we had gone on the tour!  Beautiful sunset viewing of the rock.





Now back to the campsite for dinner – BBQ the biggest pork chop we had ever seen – big enough for both of us to share and bought on special at Coober Pedy.
