The Smith family are off on their big caravan adventure. The Van Royce is packed. The wife and kids are in the car and we are off to see central and northern Australia... full info
El Cheapo Bus LinesEither 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 lifeOur first day of sunshine on the day we left Coober Pedy. Picnic at Marla Roadhouse (notice the shorts???)
Another border ticked off our listReached th border. The sun was shining, the birds were singing and the landscape changed almost immediately
$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 campAfter 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 GorgeEnjoying the shade at the bottom of Uluru gorge
Queen of the WorldAbout 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 climbTo 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 sitesThe 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-TjutaThe artist formerly known as the Olgas. Spectacular!!
