Kata Tjuta- 17th Dec.



It's early start again and unfortunately for me a peaceful night's rest was interupted by ants invading my swag. Like the flies they are another nuisance and despite best efforts to ensure we didn't place swags on their paths sometimes we still had problems. How did I know the ants were in my swag in the dark? Because they bite!

Another must see about 100km from Uluru, Kata Tjuta translates as "many heads". Once a monolith much larger than Uluru, weathering and erosive forces have given it the many domed shape that we see today. We explore along the Valley of the Winds path and although it's overcast it's beautiful and a welcome relief from the sun!


After lunch we drive East then North towards Kings Canyon, driving alongside the George gill range, spotting Wedge-tailed eagles, flocks of budgies and one large monitor. It's a beautiful drive under a moody sky. We make a bush camp in the George gill ranges and food again is cooked by fire.
