Erldunda to Uluru 22nd April 2018


Erldunda Roadhouse, was certainly a cut above the normal run of the mill roadhouses….i would recommend it to anyone.


Firstly the cheeky parrots in the tree next to our Camper.

The enclosure around the edge of the campsite, has a camel, Kangaroos a rooster and Emus…not all in together, but big pens were they are able to stretch their legs….I think these are all rescue animals…..

Every so often there is a Flood warning sign, they usually have measures like this up to 2 meters.

These were the “cones” lying under the trees in our first stop…any ideas Brian?

A tantalising glimpse of a large rock, but its not Uluru, its Mount Conner.

Our campground is in the Ayres Rock Resort……you are at their mercy for prices, as you have no where else to go……but the accommodation was good and tidy.These are some more luxurious apartments which you pass on the way in….

We go to the tourist infomation centre in the town square, just a free bus ride away, Decide that the only thing affordable is to drive into the park (entrance $25 each and the free aboriginal guided tour which starts at 8;00……we also want to see the sunrise, which is at 7;04 tomorrow…and its a half an hours drive !

Our first glimpse of Uluru from the campground……..
