21-5-2012 

We have arrived in Alyce Springs.

 

 After being in the Red Centre its going to be nice to chill out at the Alice for a while. The kids need a break from being on the road so we made sure of a nice van park for a few days...

During our stay we catch up with Brian & Merrilyn for a quick tour of The Local Botanical Gardens. Decided to capture some of the outback Flora

Ayers Amazing Sunset

Sunset At The Rock

If you go to the centre of Australia it is guaranteed that you will watch the sunset at Ayres Rock. It will not disappoint you in any way. Every car will park at the designated parking area for the best view and then it's just a waiting game.

This 30-minute video is sped up to 1 minute to show the dramatic change of light that happens at sunset. In the last few moments, you really are freaked out by what the Rock does.

An amazing place to be in the afternoon

The red Centre

Ayers Rock - ULURU

THE RED CENTRE
After 7 weeks we pull into the very very red centre of Australia. This video below is one of my all-time favourites.

We weren't to know but this photo of the girls collecting some red sand was later printed at 1.5 meters, framed and still hangs on our upstairs wall.

if you click the 'you tube' logo the video will play larger

The Olgas

The Olgas & Uluru Sunrise

Today we ventured out very early to watch the sunrise at the rock. Certainly not as captivating as the sunset but nice to see never the less.

After an hours walk with other campers around the base area, we decided to move to the next oversized outcrop nearest to us. 

Now we can see the Olgas just up ahead.

Funny wonky egg-shaped things they are. 

Agnes Creek

Agnes Creek - South Australia

 

We made it to Agnes Creek today. Travelling alongside our good friends from Western Australia. These are quite long journeys without much to see but flat dry roads and land. On the way we spotted a couple of huge wedge tailed eagles and so stopped to capture some footage and some photos for the travel log.

With a wing span possible of over 2 meters these big birds must get pretty hungry so they watch the roadsides for road kill.

 Not a nice photo but very true of the middle of Austraila.

Its time for some wood collecting as we love our campfires by the roadsides.

 Time for a quick photo and then decide what to have for dinner.

Wayne & Heather

We became very quick at our roadside setups for the nights on the road.  Find some wood and light a fire, then grab a beer or wine and settle in.

me and the kids loved our compfires

These road train truckies were everywhere at the homesteads along the way. Fuelling up and moving on. 

They always seemed to need a coat of paint or something

Our rig was always identifiable due to the kids pink bikes always on the roof racks. people would see us for miles and know it was the Robbos.
