Heading Bush: Day 8 - "It's All About The Rock"

Up before sunrise. Again. No matter how many times I do this it never gets any less painful. Today would be all about Uluru (or Ayers Rock for those who haven't quite got with the program) as in the sunrise, the walk and the sunset. We cruised past the queues on the way in and joined the tour...

Day 6

After buying some opals in the morning, today was a rather boring one, driving the Stuart Highway and Lassiter Highway as far as Curtain Springs Station. Nothing to see, really, except lots of red sand and dirt and basic, unquaint truck stops. Nothing like the real outback feel of the last...
