The Red Centre

Our morning started early to catch the sunrise view of the rock - it was freezing and a little underwhelming but we’re glad we ticked that off our ‘to do’ list. It is an amazing rock that’s for sure.

                       

We then travelled to visit the Olga’s  and they are spectacular in a different way. We all undertook a valley walk along very uneven ground.

The main excitement was seeing this camel in the wild:

                  

We then spent a while watching people climbing Ayres Rock as they opened it up this afternoon - there were people streaming in to test their abilities - with mixed success!! I can’t really believe we did that years ago - my word we were brave weren’t we Sandy? We even saw this chap coming down ( we won’t say how far up he got )

     

Tonight we are going to catch the sunset on the rock then enjoy our last evening here. We have neighbours one up from us who have a camper similar to ours so we’ve been socialising with them around our campfire on the road! Despite our initial dismay at our site, it hasn’t turned out too badly - we did have a rough introduction when I got mixed up and got Darryl set up in the wrong site then the pegs couldn’t be put in! We’ve marvelled at the beauty of this area and here in the park have met some nice people and feel quite at home. This is our turn around point so tomorrow we head southwards. We haven’t mapped out our itinerary at all and will decide day  by day where we’d like to go. It’s all an adventure. 

So from the red centre, we send our best wishes and love. ❌❌❌❌❌❌
