Uluru sunset

Last night was our final in the campground, so the morning was spent packing up camp at a leisurely pace as we'd organised a late check-out. From camp we drove the short way out the Camel Farm. No camel riding for us, but we got to say hello to some friendly camels and the other resident animals - chickens, guinea fowl, goats, ducks, a cow and some water buffalo. It's also somewhat of a camel museum, with lots of displays and history about the significant role of camels for transport in Australia over the years.

We parked up in the Resort and while Deb had a work meeting Ben and the kids hung out on the luxurious green space and ran out some energy.

A quick grocery shop for sunset picnic supplies before heading out to Uluru for a close-up of the sun going down. In addition to our nibbles, Ben went above and beyond and provided a roadside barbecue feast for us, which we savoured while watching the changing colours of Uluru. It was beautiful. And the kids went a bit wild, and Ben spent some of the time having strong words on the phone with Telstra over an identity mix-up - ahh magical.

Our camp for the night was about an hour down the road at a rest stop, so after a quick pack up we headed off into the night.Baca selengkapnya
