Uluru - Curtin Springs

Father's Day on Sunday so we caught up with the kids via Facetime in the morning. They were enjoying a nice warm morning in the park. We were freezing our butts off in the wind. Thermometer showed 7° outside and the BOM advised us with the wind chill it felt like 1°. They were right. At least the sun was shining so we headed off to Uluru anyway, hoping to be able to do the Base Walk again. A drive of about 100kms from Curtin Springs we arrived at Uluru with it looking spectacular in the bright sunshine. It is such an awe inspiring sight as you approach, it's hard to take your eyes off it. The wind was still blowing but the closer we walked to the rock the less we could feel it. We headed off for a couple of kms before coming back to the road that runs all the way around. The next part was in open country and we remembered it as being the less interesting part of the walk so decided to head back to the car and drive around to the other side. Lazy I know but the wind was still blowing. We checked some of the sites on the sunrise (less windy) side before heading back to the Cultural Centre and Yulara to have a look around. We found the campsite we had last time we were here. The park was not full but was still pretty busy. We were glad we decided to come to Uluru again. It is an awesome place and everyone should visit at least once in their lives.Read more
