Uluru

Day 10, Monday 21 June

Uluru at dawn

Up pre-dawn to head to the Uluru sunrise viewing area. Watching the sun’s rays hit the eastern face of the Rock never loses its impact. But the highlight was probably the actual sunrise interacting with the clouds on the eastern horizon, framed by the Desert Oaks.

The rest of the morning was nicely leisurely- it’s also a holiday after all! A bit of admin from back home and catching up on some corro included.

In the afternoon we acquired a couple of bikes and did counter-clockwise lap of Uluru. A great way to see the sights, albeit the hire bikes were even dodgier than Mark’s riding technique. Ness’ remark was that the bikes were made for neither comfort or speed. Mark’s assessment was they had nailed that brief!

Neither comfort or speed…

In the evening Jane (Ness’ friend and housemate from Nepal), her husband JP and kids ‘came over’ and we had a BBQ under Bernie’s awning.
