Leaving Kings Canyon and arriving Uluru
we explored the surroundings and admired the gob smackig scenery,The younger people scaled to the top of the canyon and in the photos people can be seen on the edge of the very high cliff face !! We amled along the river bed to a raised sight seeing platform.The views are incredible & to see people high above us was very eerie (for those of you ho know how daft I am I did my Tarzan call!! and the echo was magnificent,Annie was telling people she is NOT with me !) we started early ish 8am so we didnt get caught in the heat.Amazingly the car parks were full BUT we hardly saw anyone! We then set off for a drive to Uluru taking in the fabulous sight of the very flt topped Conner Mountain.We booked into the Ayers Rock camp site & viewed ULURU>Tomorrow we will explore the site & also take in the Olga,s Very unusual for flowers & greenery in this area There has been heavy rainfalls over a long period ( we haven’t seen any rain !!)
Towards Uluru via Kings Canyon
We took a detour of around 500 kms & stayed at Kings Canyon so Just a shor Blog today I cant use my BIGPOND here in the Park BUT I can ,hire time! For approx 50 mins We stayed overnight in a ,freebie, park water & fireplaces provided but NO toilets In my case quite a few plants were “watered” the area is SO remote but we are getting quite expert at setting the satellite dish up!! We ventured out into the dark around 9ish and the sky show was magnificent (the Milky Way is like a cloud!) around 10pm the moon rose in the sky and created an eerie ghostly light (the area was quite visible just via the moonlight) We set off around 9am ish and travelled to Kings Canyon & have booked in for the night The surrounding Canyons are fantastic Photos will be taken tomorrow The day was spent doing nothing Annie was reading and I spent some time getting sore lips playin me didgeridoo. Night time entertainment in the camp was quite good two elderly Ozzies calling themselves The Roadies did a cabaret show ( very family orientated) the kids all got involved and had a great time The older audience were selected to go on stage and made utter fools of themselves .Odd thing was a glass full of beer (mine) sat quietly on the table and for some inexplicable reason just Blew up !! Nobody touched it or knocked the table,,,very eerie !! Thankfully I got a free replacement !!! Kings Canyon was MAGNIFICENT !!!a Km walk to the botom om the Canyon was incredibe.Although lots of photos were taken YOU actually need to be there to get the real ambience of it all !!! Next the trip & arrival at ULURU (Ayers Rock)
Watch me play Didgeridoo
