Days 9 and 10 at Yulara / Uluru / Kata Tjuta

---

Sunrises and sunsets.

Long walks and short walks.

We rode the bikes too.

We packed a lot in these days.

We stayed at the Yulara campground which was OK. It had a pool.

We ate local food (croc, barra and roo) at the pub.

Next stop is Kings Canyon (now known as Watarrka National Park).

Our first close up view of the rock as we drive to the Visitor Centre
It is a 250 km drive down Lasseter Hwy from the Stuart Hwy to get to Yulara (the town that services Uluru and Kata Tjuta)

Not much water left in this pool
The dark stain on the right (and around the rim of the pool) show where the water runs down the rock.

The sunset behind!
At one stage the action behind was a long way ahead of the action in front of us.

The sun is fully up

Valley of the Winds
Commencing the Valley of the Winds walk at Kata Tjuta (a challenging 7.4 km walk)

Lookout 2 from Valley of the Winds
The wind hurtles through this (smallish) gap and threatens to take away any hat that is not firmly planted on a head. It's also a wonderful view towards the furthermost "heads". Kata Tjuta means many heads.

6 km mark on Valley of the Winds
You soon learn to look for shade.

Walpa Gorge walk
This was an "easy" 2.6 km walk which we did after lunch. It was quite hot and there was no shade until we got towards the end of the walk (an in / out walk)

Walpa Gorge walk
Georgi shows how high the Gorge is. Breathtakingly beautiful.

Blends with the white sunscreen! Where did all that white come from anyway?
