DAY 7 – KULGERA – YULARA
It was great not even having unhitched the car this morning, to just put things away in the van, and head straight out of the roadhouse. We headed straight to Yulara. David loved tricking the kids on the way. (To the untrained eye, Mt Conner looks surprisingly like Uluru from a distance!!)
It is a lovely camping ground with great facilities. We did some shopping at the supermarket (yes, they have a supermarket here now!!) and then went out to Uluru to the Interpretive Centre which was so interesting. Bridgie took great delight in dragging me to a spot she had decided was a great view of the rock!! The guy on the checkout at the souvenir shop was the grandson of Cassidy Uluru, a famous personality around Uluru. I was talking to him about our trip and he said he would like to do that one day. He had lived all his life with his mother’s tribe in Carnavon and moved to be with his father’s tribe eleven years ago. He had never been out of the Northern Territory or W.A. It occurred to me how similar we were in the sense that I had never BEEN to the Northern Territory or most of W.A.
Saw a glimpse of the famous Ulura sunset from the viewing point at the caravan park before settling in for dinner and a drink with the Parsons! Can’t wait for tomorrow. Up early for a walk around the rock!!
