Two hours on the plane from Adelaide to Alice Springs. The view was magnificent!
I've seen Uluru.
I've riden on an AWESOME camel called Eddie and now I've got a (soft toy) camel called Eddie! I've got proof I've riden on an awesome camel!!! (You may not see he's awesome but he was!)
On Thursday
Up early, left the house by about 8.15. On a flight to Alice Springs where we picked up rental car with all camping gear including REALLY cool Australian things called swags. They are canvas matress covers that you put a slesping bag in and you basically put them on the ground and look up at the stars with NOTHING at all above you! COOL AS!!!!! Spent a night at KINGS CANYON!!! What a lovely swim after 36 degrees!!! HOT!!!
On Friday
Wake up 6.00am! We had a (tiring) walk around and up the hill. I was tired after waking up early and then driving for 20 minutes before a 8km 3 hour walk (with a lot of teenagers from a school trip on the track too!)
Started walk at about 8am and finished at 11.20. It was around 36 degrees. Dad had already poured 1/2 a bottle of water on my head - so refreshing!!! Lunch atKathleen Springs, with no seagulls to beg for food, and then petrol and icecream back at Kings Creek where we had camped over night. Then, "just keep drivin', just keep drivin'".
Stopped at Curtin Springs and eventually got to a place where we could see ULURU!!!
I have seen ULURU!!!
Drove around "The Rock" with cameras out! and seeing Aboriginal men who own Uluru half way up the rock chatting - we couldn't hear what they said.
SPLASH! (that comes from me in the swimming pool: very refreshing!)
On Saturday
More walking for 10kn: 3 hours! Walked between Kata Tjuta rocks (sometimes known as The Olgas)
COOL!!!
Then a walk to only permanent waterhole near Uluru.
Drove to Stuart's Well for the night.
On Sunday
Headed home after an awesome weekend, stopping for a camel ride on Eddie.

Hi kayli
Somehow my other comments haven't made it through to you - sorry about that! Not sure what I'm doing wrong - maybe this one will!
We are all still missing you heaps but are glad that you are all safe and having a wonderful time. The heat sounds great - I prefer it hot! I think you will have to take the class for a whole day when you get back just to talk about your exciting adventures!!!
Love from Miss P :)
Hi Kayli,
The weather here is slowly starting to warm up but a long way from 36! Sounds like you are having a great time and seeing some interesting places away from the city. Hope you all keep having heaps of FUN together.
