Saturday 24th March 2012 Day 25 Alice Springs to Uluru NT


We set off around 7am to venture to Uluru some 465km from Alice Springs and arriving early afternoon. We had a pleasant drive with the wind pushing the Kombi along saving us some petrol along the way. As we were driving along I said to Darren there’s Uluru but as we got closer it was Mt Connor (or as we later find out Foolaroo) but a little later Uluru could be seen in the distance. What a sight!!
We arrived at the Ayres Rock Resort campsite and set up our tent and left to see Uluru. As you drove closer we were just stunned by its majestic beauty. After parting with $25 each for a thre day pass we decided to tackle the base walk some 10.6km. We made it after 2hrs and 10minutes with Darren really feeling it but he said it was worth it. We watched a few people struggled down from the climb but for us it was an easy no-way I’m not climbing that! After that walk it was off to find some food, Fish n Chips and a cold beer. (Just don’t ask about the costs)
