Weee - does it look like cotton candy? |
Day 1
We travelled with Jetstar, at that time there is no direct flights from Melbourne (there are now). Our flight had a transit in Sydney, not a long one, so we just lingered in the airport.
Once we touched down at Uluru Airport, we were transferred to our hotel by a shuttle bus. We stayed in Pioneer Outback Hotel & Lodge. This was the cheapest option at the time of our travel.
Front Desk - there were was a queue upon check in |
We had a rest and relax day 1 with walking around the resort, watching some cultural dance and checking out the lookouts in the centre of the resort.

Day 2
Day 2 started with my favourite activity at the resort, despite having to wake up at some ungodly hour - Camel to Sunrise!
After a short nap or chillax time, and fueled with food, we did the Valley of the Winds Walk, a 7.4km circuit/3 hours.
This followed with Uluru sunset viewing.
Fit for the name Red Centre, doesn't it? |
We woke up early twice in three days for Talinguru Nyakunytjaku Sunrise Viewing (it's ok, you don't need to read this out loud). Can't say I'm not dedicated... think I have done my quota of sunrise this year. :P
Yes - this is sunrise. I promise. |
The question is - to climb or not to climb? |
Side note: Got to work on hand/eye/leg coordination issue...
