Day 8 Uluru

 

It rained last night and as such we figured the Rock Climb to be closed, and it was. Packed into the car and headed out to Kata Juta (aka The Olgas). Great facilities, only 1 lot of toilets though. Stopped  at a few viewing spots along the way and got some really nice pics. Headed back towards The Rock to catch the Culteral Centre again as Mandy didn’t come yesterday. Low and behold, there are people moving on the Rock. The Climb was open. Mandy went without seeing the cultural centre so the 3 boys could climb The Rock.

Part way up we stopped to help an American tourist who was scared out of his mind, coming down. Poor bloke looked terrified.He had slid down on his butt and torn the backside out of his pants! I was going to help him down, but a Spanish guy on his way down offered to go with him.


 

After all that…… We got to the top……..of the chain. We hadn’t really prepared to go all the way (didn’t have drinks with us) and frankly, I was scared one opf the boys was going to go tumbling down. Made it down, tried for more sunset pics but the light wasn’t there, so back to the tent for dinner and get ready to leave
