Day 19: Ghan to Yulara

Despite the road trains we had a restful sleep and were up early to continue our travels. We arrived at the Ayers Rock Campground in Yulara (just outside the Uluru and Kata Tjuta National Parks) before midday. We spend the afternoon taking our first showers in a week and doing a hundred loads of washing.

To wrap up the day we headed out to the Uluru sunset viewing point to watch the rock change colours for the first time. We arrived early which allowed the boys to play their daily chess game in the tray of the Ute while the girls did their daily NY Times puzzles until it was time to watch the light fade.
