FLY and CLIMB



A big day today. We started with a helicopter flight around Uluru in the morning. Hannah and I were scared but when we got in and took off we loved it. The view was amazing .... it's a shame we still can't load photos. We wished it lasted longer.
After lunch we headed to the rock again. This time we got to climb.....but we were lucky to get there when we did as the walk gate closed soon after. It was very steep but the rock is actually quite rough and you grip on well. When we got to the top of the chain it continued to be difficult with lots of ridges and gullies alng the top until we reached the highest point. The view was amazing and you could see for kilometres around. We then went back down and had a well earned rest at the bottom. It was hard but well worth it. We appreciated our hot shower and comfortable bed last night.
Today we are at Kings Creek station. We stay here 2 nights. Tomorrow we will walk around the canyon.............More tired legs.
