When we arrived at Yulara we discovered another drama. Winding gear on camper stuffed. Possibly my fault from overwinding it the day before. With some help from our friends we managed to jack up the lid with poles and timber so that we could ignore the problem for a few days and enjoy being at Uluru.
We started by going out to the sunset viewing area for drinks & nibbles as the rock morphed through various colours. Very beautiful. Later that day we also found our other Mornington Peninsula friends Mandy & Liam and their 2 boys Christopher & Luke. They had just driven out of the bush after an adventurous couple of weeks well off the beaten track.
Next day we all headed off to walk the 10.6 km base of Uluru. It was quite a long walk for the kids but they all made it. Finn & Luke scooped up a mouthful of water out of the Mitujulu waterhole along the way when no one was looking so we are now waiting to see if Finn comes down with Giardia!
The following day we spent exploring Kata Tjuta. We walked into the Valley of the Winds and into the Walpa Gorge which was gorgeous. The weather during the day is starting to warm up now. Low to mid twenty's during the day but still very cold overnight ( 1 degree at Uluru last night).
