The people who pulled in beside us used to live in Paraburdoo. Small world! Much talking and catching up on their news.
While we have been travelling we have watched the price of fuel around Australia. We all know that Nanutarra in the north west of WA is expensive, but last year we found that Barkly Homestead in outback Queensland topped that. However, Kulgera today had fuel for 210.0/lt. I think we have a winner folks.
These clever people drove 75km up the road to Erldunda where it was 13c/lt cheaper.
As we were leaving Kulgera this morning we spotted The Chook Man.
There was an article about him in last weeks copy of Take 5. And there he was sitting in our little nowhere caravan park, complete with chooks and a very different type of rig!
He is travelling with a film maker who is filming his travels for a movie at some later date.
Then we came to Ayers Rock. Uluru. Yalara.
We checked in then went out to the Olgas. They are about 50kms past Ayers Rock. There is an area before you actually get to the Olgas where you can pull up to look at them from a specially built viewing platform. You can also see Ayers Rock from there too.
At the Olgas,we went to the Valley of the Winds and Himself did the walk to the lookout.
Then we went around the other side and walked into a gorge between the big domes.
On the way back to camp we stopped at Ayers Rock. There was hundreds of people all waiting patiently with cameras ready and we all watched The Rock as the sun set. It changes colour as the light alters. Beautiful.
Tomorrow we are going to spend the day walking around and maybe up the Rock. It is a seriously special place and I think every Australian that can should come here to see it.
