DAY 9 – YULARA
Off to Kata Tjuta this morning for our Valley of the Winds walk. It is still so cold in the morning and our walks don’t really warm ME up, but David says that says more about me than anything else. My hubby is loving using his little BBQ plate to cook up bacon and eggs in the mornings. And I must admit, those mornings when we don’t have to pack up are really special – you really feel like you are on holidays. As David says, we are really “living the dream”.
The drive out to Kata Tjuta is beautiful. I am constantly stunned by the beauty of the vistas, and the enormous difference in vegetation – the spinifex, the sheoaks, the scrubby bush, the rich, red, sandy soil. I can really understand how attached you can become to the land out here.
The Kata Tjuta walk was really exhausting. Only 7.4kms but much more difficult than yesterday and we are all exhausted. Got some lovely photos. Just stunning untouched landscape. The kids have all been amazing. Not a whinge out of them, and it really was a very difficult walk!! Lots of rocks and climbing. Even Bridgie, bringing up the rear, did a great job. David, ever the teacher, kept her entertained by getting her to count in 2’s and 3’s to 200!! Another night in front of the fire tonight with our jaffle irons!! Nothing like a good Aussie fire, cooking toasted sangers and toasting marshmallows. “Living the dream!!”
