I couldn't come to Australia without going to the Outback. Unfortunately I managed to miss my flight to Alice Springs and I was starting my safari the next day. But the very helpful Henry at the airport desk and Leah at the tour office sorted it all out for me and I got a flight the next morning straight to Uluru where I was met by the tour company and joined the tour having just missed a 6 hour drive!! The It cost my only 35pounds to make the changes - wouldn;t get service like that at home where I would have been charged full price for flight and no doubt just missed my tour!! Anyway, the photo is the first views of the outback.
Uluru - we walked the 10km around the base of Uluru. There are lots of sacred sites here which you are not allowed to photograph as aboriginalwomen are not allowed to see men's sites and vice versa.
The valley of the winds - we did a 8km walk around here and it was very pretty. Some of the hills look like they have pictures on them like the 2nd photo that looks like a cats face!
Collecting wood and setting up the camp fire.
Chom Poo Moo investigates hundreds of fossils at Oak Valley - no one is completely sure how these all ended up here though there are various theories.
A long nosed dragon lizard.
Butterlflies and cocoons.
A Black tailed Wallaby.
The view over Alice Springs - a pretty hick town.


Sunset over Alice Springs.
The Didgeredoo shop.
Santa's helpers.
Local kids cool down in the fountain.

Aussie cowboys were everywhere in Alice.
