Sat 4th - It was a rough night last night with whiz bang doors slamming, people talking until late, music and then we were woken at 4.30am. So was the rest of the campground by some locals who were drunk making a lot of noise just walking around and around. Think security eventually walked them … Continue reading Uluru Base Walk

Craters, Camels and Killer Bees
Mon 30th - We packed up pretty smartly and headed into Redbank Gorge. It's a 1.2km walk to the gorge.
