Outback Adventure 2019 Day 9 Yulara - Uluru - Yulara Short blog today. The next few days will be like that. Today was spent exploring Uluru and the various moods and facets that it holds. We did the Marla Walk at 8am which was packed - it’s peak season! The Ranger had to fight with a commercial tour operator to get us access to some sites around the rock. We did this tour 9 years ago and it was good to do it again. After the walk we spent some time at the...

Outback Adventure 2019 Day 8 Curtin Springs - Yulara- Kata Tjuta - Uluru - Yulara Today was an epic day! Had we known what would unfold today.....we might have been a bit more prepared! But anyway...

Day 61 Daly Waters - Barkly Homestead "ohh out on the highway, ohh out on the airwaves, yeah yeah yeah yeah. Over the radio, your heart starts beatin now....." Hit my first kangaroo today....

I knocked it clear off the road too - lucky it was only one of the small Euro Roos - only damage done was a dislodged light cover that just popped back ...

Day 60 Mataranka - Daly Waters "But they drink it down and nearly drowned as fast they ever did Only one thing hasn’t changed outback, the pubs still make a quid..." Daly Waters will always give you a great nights entertainment! It was quite breezy and for the first time on our trip, cold this morning. We rolled out of Mataraka at about 9.30 to continue south down the Stuart Highway to Daly Waters. The circus was long gone by that time - probably half way ...
