Left Yulara and traveled the same 200km back to Erldunda for lunch. Stopped to see Mt Connor from the lookout, a huge flat topped rock often mistaken for Uluru. After Erldunda we pushed on for Kulgera. This stop holds good memories for Jarrod and I. We had a fun night here on our last trip up the centre and we were pleased to see not much had changed. We had a drink in the Mulga Bar before turning in early for the threat of rain. Something a bit novel after so l...

These last few days have been spent camping at Yulara and visiting Uluru-Kata-Tjuta National Park. While Jarrod and I have been here before we were excited to show Tully the big rock. Day 1 we visited Kata-Tjuta (the olgas) and did a reasonably short walk along the Valley of the Winds. Very impressive scenery, the longer walks really do allow you to see more but we were struggling with Tully to even walk a kilometre so no chance of that. We headed to Uluru after ...

Only 200km from Alice to Erldunda today. Stopped for morning tea at Stuart's Well and then along the road to pick up firewood. Arrived to a very busy fuel stop but the caravan park at the back was relatively quiet. Tully was happy for a playground, albeit a swing and slide and Jarrod and I took the afternoon to go for a run around the park. Watched the sunset on another day before retreating from the freezing cold, expecting -1 overnight and needless to say we ar...

So back into Alice after leaving the West MacDonnell Ranges. Nice to be in phone reception and have green grass under our feet. These few days have been spent enjoying the huge jumping pillow, tearing around the park in a two seater racing cart and visiting a few tourist sites that we haven't been to before. We decided on the National Transport Museum and the boys loved checking out all the trucks and cars here. We also visited the Desert Park, a wildlife park wi...

Deciding against a second night at Gem Tree we made a dash for Alice Springs. Excited to reach civilisation we grabbed a few essentials before heading out to the West MacDonnell National Park. We made our way along the main road, stopping at Simpsons Gap and the Ochre Pits. Both spectacular landscapes and just a taste of what was to come. We made camp at the Glen Helen Gorge. This was a caravan park rather than the camp ground area as we were keen to power to run...
