On the way to Uluru

Wed 1st August – We had a bit of a delayed start with some of the bolts on the chassis/canopy needing some adjustment. We had some Major Mitchell Cockatoos feeding on some pine cones to keep us company.

We filled up at Curtain Springs Station, dearest petrol so far $2.27L. But they do offer free camping. We were told the Ayers Resort campground was expensive but it was $2.07.

We ended up pulling off the road about 30kms from Uluru for the night. We could walk to the top of a sand hill and see Uluru. Our first glimpse a far way out.

For the first time in weeks we didn’t have any wind.
