Uluru - Kata-Tjuta National Park

So, into Alice Springs, and the only thing near Alice Springs is the Uluru - Kata Tjuta National Park. Alice itself is a total dump and I hope to never visit the place again! It makes Melton Mowbray look good... Loads of people just bumming around looking homeless, didn't add to a nice look for the town anyway... So I booked a cheap day-trip to the National Park which cost $165, and got some sleep as I had to be up early... ... at 6.15am I was supposed to have been picked up by the coach! It was 6.40am by the time it got to me. So we were late leaving Alice Springs and it was a long way to Uluru (5 1/2 hour drive), we had a lot to fit in and probably wouldn't be back until midnight.

I'd write some stuff about the National Park, but to me, its just a rock, I know its got a lot of Aboriginal stuff and beliefs behind it but I can't be bothered to write much about it now because I'm mega lazy... So have a look at the gallery and see the thing for yourself! Oh, the Olgas are cool too, smaller rocks but some are taller than Uluru, these are situation in the same National Park... We spent most of the day at Uluru, before a quick look at Kata-Tjuta, followed by a bit of a buffet sunset dinner, facing away from the sunset, watching Uluru change colours as the sun set in the west. Wasn't quite as impressive as I thought it would be, I think sunrise would be much better... Still, a good day out, worth the trip. Perhaps wish I'd done a 2 day trip with Kings Canyon included too, oh well, until next time.
