Ayers Rock, Olgas, Kings Canyon - 18 to 21 August 2009

At Yulara we stayed at the Ayers Rock Camping Park and saw Uluru [Ayers Rock at sunrise and sunset.

 

We drove to Kata Tjuta [The Olgas] which means many heads and walked through the Gorge

At Kings Canyon we stayed at the Kings Canyon Resort in the Watarrka National Park and did the rim walk. 
 













The next day we drove back to Alice Springs via the Mereenie Loop Road which passes through Aboriginal Land for which a fee is paid.

We debated the meaning of this government sign.

The owners provided clarity at both the start 


and finish of a dangerous curve in the road

 

The Meerenie loop brought us to what was the Hermannsburg Lutheran Mission established on the Finke River in 1877.
