Yulara and the Rock

The Ayers Rock resort at Yulara is huge yet secluded with a vast camping area divided into small lawns with different shower blocks and kitchens. Most of the people here seem to be from France and then Germany. The staff are very friendly, even to Aussies, which is great.

I met a Korean cyclist who had come across the way I am going. He was very nice and called himself 'K' as his Korean name was too difficult for English speakers.

Took a tour to see the sunset at the rock with a crowd of coach travellers. It was spectacular and there was plenty of oohing and ahhing. Then the rock turned a malign, dull dark brown colour as the sun sank below the horizon, and a French guy yelled out 'It's ugly! Let's go!'.

Now I am off to see the Olgas and then to the WA border!
