🙂 AMAZING. Bucket List – Tick!
🙁 Nothing negative
Left Kings Canyon and drove in direction of Ayer Rock… got very excited as thought we could see Ayers Rock in distance but turned out to be the flat topped Mt Conner / Artilla which is a few metres shorter than Uluru, but covers a larger area. Unlike Uluru, Mount Conner was once part of a broader mountain range. Booked into the campsite and headed to the Outback Lodge for dinner.
we were up early for sunrise and climbed the rock – I was a bit scared of the height but Trent ran up!
Windy and cool, so good for the ascent. Stunning views from the top … apart from the 40,000 Japs who were all surreptitiously photographing us and Trent! One lady asked directly if she could take a photo with Trent and nearly died of joy when we said yes! We took 100’s of photos of other people….I think they thought we were the local photographers!
We ran back down.
We did a walk around the rock and admired the aboriginal rock paintings…. there were so many flies!
We headed back to the van and our campsite to lie by the pool and swim. We cooked a curry and headed back to the Rock for sunset. We spotted a dingo … which reminded me about the case of the baby that was allegedly taken by a dingo at the campsite that we were staying at! Ate our curry and had a drink at the lodge and bed.
