After a great time in Coober Pedy we got up on Sunday before the crack of dawn and headed for the NT border. We stopped on the way for a roadside breaky as the sun came up over one of Erica's awesome coffee's. Took us most of the day but we managed to cross the border into the Territory and on to Mt Ebenezer Roadhouse for our next stop. Not a lot there but the roadhouse supports the local Indigenous community by having artists space and selling their artwork with money going back to the community. Seemed a positive model.
On Monday we had ~ 200 k's to get to Yulara. We woke up to fog and all the way to Uluru was misty and poor visibility. Missed Mt Connor because of the fog. The good thing was that as we got closer to Uluru it started to break up. After being a bit disorientated by the fog we rounded one corner and Lachy shouted ..."There it is!!!!" And there it was. Uluru. The boys were amazed by its size and it was no less impressive to Pete & I despite having seen it before years ago. Incredible.
