Day 12 - Off to Yulara

This morning started as a slow uneventful morning, after waving goodbye to out fellow travellers we took our trailer around to the mechanic at Kulgera, who happened to be the bar man the night before, to see if he could fix our trailer.....but no. Unfortunately he did not have the correct parts we needed. Matt got onto the phone to the mechanic at Yulara, he had some parts but was able to order the others in and would be in by 8.30 tomorrow morning. So after assurances from the mechanic at Kulgera that our little fix would last the drive out to Yulara we headed off again.

The drive was a pretty easy one all on bitumen and we were trying to drive at a nice steady pace so as not to upset the wheel on the trailer.

We stopped for a quick look at Mt Connor, from a distance you can see why people mistake it for Uluru, but as you get closer it is a lot different.

Finally we arrived at the Ayers Rock Resort Camping Ground, a huge camping ground with what felt like hundreds of people checking in (I do slightly exaggerate) and it did take quite a while to be given our site. A nice shady unpowered site, we are camping with another 3 My Swag couples, unfortunately for Chloe all of the kids are camping in the powered section a little while away from us....never mind it's only for a few days.

So we set up for the night and headed off to sunset at Uluru....WOW what an amazing site. It would have to be one of the most magnificent things I have ever seen. We set up out chairs with some drinks and nibbles with camera in tripod close at hand to start clicking away. I will have to cull some photos at some point.

Returning to camp for Nachos Wednesday as Chloe is now calling it.

Off for an earlish night, camper needs to be packed up again in the morning to take it to the mechanic, hopefully he has our parts......
