Australia
Aboriginal settlers arrived on the continent from Southeast Asia about 40,000 years before the first Europeans began exploration in the 17th century. No formal territorial claims were made until 1770, when Capt. James COOK took possession in the name...more info

El Cheapo Bus Lines
Either a disgruntled passenger or discounting has gone just too far....no guarantee that you get to your destination (just north or Coober Pedy)
What a beautiful life
Our first day of sunshine on the day we left Coober Pedy. Picnic at Marla Roadhouse (notice the shorts???)
Another border ticked off our list
Reached th border. The sun was shining, the birds were singing and the landscape changed almost immediately
Having a foot in either camp
Not sure which state they are in, SA or NT
Kulgera Roadhouse (and Pub)
As good an excuse as any for a beer
$1.30 a litre!!!!!!
The pricies have been hovering around a $1 but this is definitely the most expensive gas we've seen at double what we'd normally pay (at Curtin Springs on way to Uluru)
Setting up camp
After the disappointment at Coober Pedy the Ayers Rock campground is great. Big sites, plenty of toilets/showers & great people. Just watch out for those dingoes....
Oh No!!!!!!
This was the sign that greeted us when we first gotto Uluru. There was one very sad little girl until......at 2.30pm the sign was removed and we were off.
At the Gorge
Enjoying the shade at the bottom of Uluru gorge
At the end of the chain
About 200m from the bottom. A ong way down
Spot the father & daughter
The two dots at the top are two very proud people, waving to the crowd.
Queen of the World
About 50m from the summit Charlize turned around and said to daddy I don't think I can go any more. She did extremely well and we're so proud of her
The end of our climb
To the joy of mummy (and slight interest from the younger sibling) we safely return to the bottom
Whatever you can do.....
Not to be outdone, Scarlett makes her way up the rock until she gets to about 20m and decides that's enough.....there's no rule that says you have to actually get to the top!!!!
Uluru sites
The many nooks an crannies constantly amazed us
It's a hard life!!
Our rv neighbours told us that we could use all the facilities at all the other resorts. So we did. We had a great swim and lounge around at Sails in the Desert
Kata-Tjuta
The artist formerly known as the Olgas. Spectacular!!
Kata-Tjuta - getting closer
Te closer you get the more impressive they become
Walpa Gorge
What a view
This is what all lunchrooms should look like
Just kicking back, having a bit of lunch with this backdrop. Jees life is good.....
Intrepid travellers
No expense spared on this trip. Not sure whether it would tow the Van Royce though
Can we keep it daddy??
Not sure whether we could keep it as a pet....tastes nice but
