| Yulara Resort (part of). |
A bit more, with the
magnificent Olgas in the background. |
Another bit more with Uluru in
the background. |
The desert, beautiful one
minute, magnificent the next. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Evening meals
available at the Resort oval. Several marquees set up, catering from a
couple of semitrailers, all for the HOG hordes. The oval converted into the
night entertainment area. |
Lookout in the centre of the
Resort, local fuel stop hidden in the top right, the entire Resort connected
by one long ring road. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Crowds gathering
at the official viewing area for the sunset viewing. |
Storm clouds coming in from
the west threatening to close out the sunset on the Rock. |
Rosemary wondering how to get
the HOG horde out of the picture. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Storms from the
west threatening to drown everything. |
Meanwhile, back at the Rock,
next morning, we have a peek past the Rock at our destination...the Olgas. |
The sun has just cleared the horizon as we leave the Rock for
the Olgas. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Yes, it was just a bit early
in the morning. Sensible people were still in bed. |
Only about 50km
out from the Olgas. |
Sneaking up on them. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| A lookout about
halfway to the Olgas from the rock. |
This clump of
rocks is a bit larger than it appears. Check out the trees on top of the
right centre rock in the right hand picture. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Same rock group again. |
Still a couple of kilometres
out. |
Always obey the signs...they
are there for a reason. |
One of the many walks through
the area. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| All the comforts
of home. |
Another walking track... |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| ...this one. |
Leaving the Olgas (Kata Tjuta).
For the first time we see a sign warning us of the bleeding obvious. |
There's the Rock we must be
going the right way. |
Quandong tree near Yulara (santalum
acuminatum for you botanical types). |
 |
 |
 |
|
| All the ripe ones
were way above reach. |
