Outback Adventure 2019 Day 13 Kings Canyon - Erldunda - Finke River - Alice Springs We awoke to cloudy skies this morning for the first time this trip. There was no chance of rain but it was strange nevertheless. The sun did manage to put on a show briefly but then hid behind the cloud over for most of our morning. We packed up and got underway just after 8.30 this morning heading for Alice Springs. Our drive back to both the Lasseter highway and then Stuart...

Outback Adventure 2019 Day 12 Kings Canyon The campground came alive at 6.30 this morning. Everyone was on the move - some gearing up for the 6.8km Rim Walk of the Canyon, and some moving on. We had the alarm set for 6.45 and so felt ripped off at the lost 15 mins. Last night was hot! It didn’t get below 24 degrees and even though we had a gusty breeze it was a hot one.

We arrived at Kings Canyon Resort (the only plac...

Outback Adventure 2019 Day 11 Yulara - Uluru- Kata Tjuta - Yulara There was a moody teenager who was rudely awakened at 5.15am this morning. He wasn’t impressed at all.....and he’s the one that always loves watching the sunrise! We left the van in the pitch black in ‘peak hour’ at 5.35am to head out to the ‘proper’ sunrise viewing area at Uluru. We got there bang on 6am and there was already a decent crowd gathering. We quickly found our spot and ...

Outback Adventure 2019 Day 10 Uluru - Kata Tjuta - Field of Light Everything starts early in the Centre! The National Park opens at 5.30am. The “peak hour” is between 5.30 and 6.30am and it applies to everything from roads to toilet blocks! We woke at 5.45 am to go watch the sunrise at Uluru. The light had already started and so we hurriedly got our stuff in the Disco and hit the road. We had decided that we would watch the sunrise from the same location ...
