Hallo,
we have been driving through the outback route "The Read Heart" to Ayers Rock (Uluru) and "The Olgas". On our way we have visited the "Western MacDonnal Ranges" with its attractions, the "Kings Canyon" to finally, after 4 days, reach Ayer Rock, which is situated about 400km to the South of Alice Springs.
The Ayers Rock was really impressing, standing there within the landscape. We walked around the Base and were thus able to view it from very different angles. After that we also visited the so-called "Olgas", another monolitic rock formation 50km away from Uluru. This was also very nice, especially when the afternoon sun paints the rocks really red.
Now we are back in Alice Springs to prepare for our going North now.
Click here for pictures :-).
Ah, something worth commenting on: the wheather here was not at all totally hot and cloudless, as one expects. Yesterday and today we had rain!!!! Even though in the weather statistics of Alice Spring it says "NO RAIN" in September. ;-) and it is also rather cool today instead of hot.
Alice Springs will also be historically known as the burying place of Mirkos hiking boots as they decided to give up and dissolve. We tried hard to prolong this but as the sole finally came off, we had no chance to stick to them ;-).
We wish you all the best. Kisses, :-)
See you!
