A stop at the Kata Tjuta Dune viewpoint on the way back to Uluru, and a gecko munching on a grasshopper.

Next morning, it was out to The Olgas/Kata Tjuta and a walk into Walpa Gorge. While the geology of Kata Tjuta and Uluru are uplifted sediments, Kata Tjuta differs from Uluru in being rough conglomerate, whereas Uluru is a sandstone.

LIX - Likoma Island, Malawi.

First order of business after settling in was to muster to head out for drinks and canapes overlooking Ayers Rock/Uluru and to await the lighting up of Bruce Munro’s Field Of Light. The real Uluru/Ayers Rock… Looking the other way, then back again… Drinks finished, we then went down to...

Moving on to Kings Creek Station for morning tea – scones & cream – gah, I detest those things! They had a few camels yarded. Ostensibly, they were going to be trucked out once a load was reached. I think they had a long way to go to get truckload numbers… There are a few camel abattoirs in...

Leaving Kings Canyon next morning and continuing on Red Centre Way a few clicks to Kathleen Creek/Springs. The path leads up a dead-end valley to a permanent waterhole that was used by aboriginal people as a hunting ground and subsequently as a stock watering and mustering area.

We then adjourned to a very pleasant outside BBQ dinner in our own area at the resort.

Then it was back to the resort for a chill afternoon before the sunset drinks and canapes and the light show. Bruce Munro’s ‘Light Towers’. We were the Priviliged Ones who had the front section with drinks and canapes, to be followed after dark by the freedom to walk amongst the display.

What I posted above, just as you posted, may be of interest. I have done three tours with Outback Spirit (this one, Kimberley in the Wet Australian Frequent Flyer Arnhem Land Australian Frequent Flyer PJM has been with me on two and we are doing Cape York in July. If you want to get right into...

Then it was back to the resort for a chill afternoon before the evening drinks and light show.

Then it was into Kings Canyon Resort for two nights. Before I forget, it is worth mentioning that a large proportion of the pax had come off the S-bound Ghan train at Alice Springs to join the Red Centre tour. Journey Beyond, the operators of The Ghan (also the Indian Pacific, Great Southern...

It's just you, fella - just you. They know a dodgy smart@rse when they see one. :p

Next, Gosse Bluff, an asteroid or comet impact crater (Gosse Bluff). Locally-made road sign near a dodgy bend. Pests. Then it was into Kings Canyon Resort for two nights.

Moving along and a viewpoint a little further west.

Ormiston Gorge.

Moving on to Ormiston Gorge with a viewpoint stop on the way, with a mobile phone signal focussing hotspot on the hill. The coach. Maximum 26 pax, which we had. Great group. Nobody was a problem – although that could be a mixed message. As they say, “If nobody is a problem on a tour, then...

Looking back. Vertical panos.

First stop, the grave of John Flynn (‘Flynn of The Inland’ - founder of the RFDS), a few km out of Alice Springs, with the backdrop of the West MacDonnell Range. Someone previously had found a dead thorny devil and placed it on a Chux cloth next to the path. Terrible background, but it did...
