On the move today! Goodbye Alice Springs and hello Uluru. Traveling by a luxuriously spacious coach, set out for a full day of adventure. About every 100 Miles stopped at a roadhouse or cattle station or some point of interest. Our first stop was at a camel farm. Several travelers, including Kelley, took a ride. Total fun! Next stop Erlunda Roadhouse. Bought sustenance for our in room dinner for later. Then on to Curtain Springs Cattle Station for lunch. Yum. Toured a former slaughter house converted into making paper out of native grasses. Rather cleaver. Of course concluded in the gift shop. As we neared our destination, we had a photo op stop of our first Mesa ( did not catch it's name - our guide tried to fool us to think it was the sacred rock - not a chance). On the back side of our perch , one of the many salt flats. We did tour the lesser known Kata Tjute. The sacred aboriginal heads. 5 times more sacred then Uluru. We walked up one of the slits between the largest rocks. A bit of a wind and rather briskly cause we needed to get to Uluru before sunset. Success! Made it in perfect time to have some nibblies and champagne to toast the end of the day in front of the rock.
Whew, what a day! Relaxed in our room for dinner with the provisions acquired along the way. Tomorrow, sunrise on the rock and fly to Cairns! ( pronounced cans - silly Aussies)
