Day 82 – Uluru Sunset – Thierings on Tour

After a rainy and dreary start to the day, we were glad to get back on the road a little later once it cleared up and enjoyed a slower pace this morning.

We were back on the Red Centre Way again and Chris was really happy to see proper road again!

We made a stop at Curtin Springs for lunch and the girls enjoyed seeing some of the birds roaming around the garden. It’s fascinating how many different species of birds we’ve seen in the NT so far.

As we continued on, Mount Connor appeared. Mount Connor is a mountain that always gets people confused with Uluru, but our girls were onto it and noticed it was the wrong shape to be Uluru.

Soon enough we were approaching the “real” Uluru and everyone was so excited to see it at sunset.

After we set up camp we headed out into the National Park to grab a spot at the Uluru Sunset viewing platform with our cheese platter and our best poses. We all loved watching the colours change as the sun set.

Gosh, you really can’t put into words the magnificence of Uluru, the scale, the colours, the feeling it gives you when you’re looking at it. Chris let the girls sit up on the roof to enjoy an extra special view and they loved it!
