It was a day that we could do what we want. Some people started the day by having a bit of a sleep in, I know I did.
It was then, organise yourself with a driver to see sights around Yulara.
A large group headed out to see the Olgas (Kata Tjuta), but not without stopping at the National Parks office. Here, there was a bit of history on Ayres Rock (Uluru), a kiosk and a souvenir ship. An Aboriginal tribe also had a shop set up and were selling their arts and crafts. We had lunch here and then moved onto the Olgas.
When we arrived at the Olgas, those who wanted to, walked around them, while those who didn’t and the wheelies went as close to the Olgas as they could. The wheelies and those who didn’t participate in the walk, then loaded back into the 4WDrives and went for a drive to one of the lookouts of the Olgas.
When everyone else joined us at the lookout, we left to have group photo and happy hour at Ayres Rock sunset strip.
As the sun began to set, cameras were clicking trying the capture the different colours of the rock as the sun was setting.
When it was dark, we headed back to camp for tea, showers and eventually bed.
