Sunrise at Uluru, with the field of lights, was spectacular. We were also fortunate enough to see the glow from Aurora.
We did a tour, which included breakfast after a wander through the lights, the changing colours were beautiful .
The lights slowly dimmed as the sun came up and shone on Uluru
The Olga’s also came into view, as did the ground cover. A beautiful time of day, and well getting up early to see.
Once we were back in town we did some shopping and had a drive around, there is a lot of tourist accommodation as well as a shopping complex, parks and gardens, also I was able to see my favourite flower the Stuart’s Desert Pea. Love them.
That evening we all went up and sat at a view point to watch the sun go down
It ended up being a triple treat, as well as sun set we again saw the glow from Aroura and some of the Drone display at the Rock.
The next day Chris and I drove out to the base of the Rock and did the walk in to a water hole.
It was an easy walk and gave us an insight as to what is around the other side,as you usually only see photos from the main road side.
On the walk there is also a cave with Aboriginal art that we went into.,which was quite interesting.
It was a lovely walk in to the waterhole and there are nice timber seats scattered around .
As with all outdoor activities, flies go with it. !
That evening we went on a bus tour out to the Rock for sunset and the drone show, nibbles and drinks included
As we got out of the bus there was a dingo hanging around. Not a good photo as he wasn’t there long,
When we were all seated our snacks and drinks were served. A nice variety of cheeses and dips. We were also told that there was to be no photography taken. It was a nice venue, but disappointed that I couldn’t take photos of the drone display.
The story started off with drones then the wind became to strong for them to fly, so the rest of the event was done with a ground strobe light display. It was OK, but a bit of a let down.
We walked back to the bus ,which took us back to camp, passing the well lit sails in the desert resort.
Next will be the Segway tour….
