(We've been out of WIFI/internet range for the last few days, hence these late entries. However, they were written at the time, so are pretty accurate accounts of what happened.) Today we left Yulara, for the drive to Kings Canyon. Not too far a distance, but long enough (321 km). We saw some wildlife along the way: four wild horse (brumbies) along the side of the road, and a dingo, which crossed the road in front of us. Upon arrival at Kings Canyon Resort...

A very hot day today - a forecast maximum of 38 degrees celsius - so we started early. An 8.00 am walk at the bottom of Uluru. A guided walk (the Mala walk), with a ranger telling us stories about the rock. It was lovely, Uluru was huge and awe-inspiring. We walked mostly in the shade, so that was nice. Then it was off to Kata Tjuta (the Olgas) which lie about 50 km to the west of Uluru. We stopped at a lookout on the way and saw the amazing group of domes ...

After a restful day for M&C in Uluru, enjoying the the heat and sunshine and the pool, Lisanne arrived on Friday at around lunch time. Her flights went well, and she even had 3 seats to herself on both the Amsterdam-Dubai leg as well as the Dubai-Sydney leg (we should all be so lucky ....) She managed to get herself a window seat on the flight from Sydney to Ayers Rock, which meant she saw some beautiful scenery. Everything from green fields to salt flats ...

Well, here we are. At Uluru, waiting for Lisanne. We stayed last night at Kulgera, which is literally in the middle of nowhere, at a very uninspired rest stop/roadhouse, which has a powered campground attached to it. However, the bathroom was clean and it had a POOL. Yes, a swimming pool, so all was wonderful. Back on the road this morning, and an uneventful drive to Uluru, although we did drive over a snake. Fortunately, the Yulara Campground has a swim...

Here we are in Coober Pedy. Met up with the auto electrician in Port Augusta this morning. He fixed a few things and we were hopeful that would solve the problem. In fact, it did ensure power was flowing into the leisure batteries, but it didn't improve the performance of our fridge! It seems we're just going to have to live with this power-hungry fridge, until some time in the future when we replace it!! That might be sooner rather than later … The dr...
