Yulara to Western edge of the National Park

Despite a headwind the day was good on a sealed road. I rode to the cultural centre near the rock and had a yarn with Mick, one of the rangers, who had cycled there from the east coast and stayed at the rock.

I then rode against a strong headwind to the sunset viewing area for Kata Tjuta (the Olgas). Here there were buses of tourists coming though. A cute Japanese girl asked to have her picture taken with me. A cocky young Spanish backpacker quizzed me and recited the usual backpacker mantra of really liking Melbourne.

I placed camp just outside the park border, no more than a few kilometres.
