🙂 More magnificent scenery! Camels!

🙁 Nothing negative to report!

We left Ayers Rock and stopped off at the awe inspiring Olgas on our way to Kings canyon…. The Olgas are made up of 36 formations, although they are thought to have been one huge piece of rock, much like Ayers Rock, that has weathered over millions of years. They lie 35kms west of Ayers Rock along Lasseter Highway and have a slightly different make-up to their better-known neighbour. There are estimated to a feral camel population of 100, 000 in outback Australia!

The walk takes roughly 3 hours and involves some steep climbs and there are some loose stones. There are 2 spectacular viewing points along the way and the majority of the walk is fairly easy-going. Definitely worth the stop.

As we headed off the flat topped  Mt Conner / Artilla came in to view … it is believed to be associated with the legend of the “terrible ice-man”. Mount Conner is a few metres shorter than Uluru, but covers a larger area. Unlike Uluru, Mount Conner was once part of a broader mountain range.
