1015 (3592 km) Breakfast of toast. Only slight drizzle so far, the constant rain had stopped. Walk to lookout near the campsite. We could see Uluru from there. After some photos, took the kids to the playground. Met a couple of kids and played with them. The campground was starting to build a mini golf course. There was only 1 hole completed. So, went back to the camper to get our putter and golf ball and had a few goes. The new kid almost got a hole in one! Note: always bring a putter and golf ball - you never know when it comes in useful.
1230 (3592 km) Lunch of Chinese porridge - most comforting in this cold and dreary weather.
1320 (3592 km) Drove to to Kata Tjuta (Olgas)via the Cultural Centre. Didn't visit the Cultural Centre, just went to pick up some guides.
1410 (3645 km) Went up to the Kata Tjuta viewing platform. Quite impressive. We could also see Uluru from there.
1440 (3664 km) Went for a walk to Valley of the Winds. Quite a lot of people jostling along. We only did the short walk to Karu lookout.
1550 (3668 km) Checked out the other walk - Walpa Gorge. The domes were amazing, and we could really appreciate how Uluru and Kata Tjuta are different geologically speaking - Uluru being a sandstone rock and Kata Tjuta being a conglomerate. The kids found a little stream that they started building a dam across. Kids love building dams.
1722 (3671 km) Left Kata Tjuta. Saw a dead camel by the side of the road.
1800 (3723 km) Shopping for dinner and next few days. IGA at Yulara has really reasonable prices. Some items are even cheaper than Port Augusta.
1815 (3724 km) Got back and cooked Indomie for dinner.
