Day 22: Yulara

This morning we got up at 5:15am to catch the bus to our Sunrise Journeys tour. We were taken out to a lookout of Uluru and greeted with warm muffins, hot chocolates and chai tea. All of which were much appreciated as it was very cold!! We then sat down to watch a sound and light show created by three female indigenous artists that was projected onto the trees and landscape with the backdrop of Uluru and the sun rising. We all really loved this. It was beautifully done. After the light show we stayed in the area to watch the sunrise over Uluru while having breakfast - lots more hot chocolates, pastries (including cheese and kangaroo croissants), egg and bacon rolls, and so much more. I think by the end we rolled back to the bus we were so full!

Back at camp the boys laid down for a nap, while the girls headed back to another dot painting session and a walk through the "town square". John and the kids headed back into the park again to pick up a boomerang for Theo. While at the visitors centre they got to watch some local dances in celebration of NAIDOC (National Aboriginal and Islands Day Observance Committee) week.

Later that afternoon we went along to a didgeridoo workshop followed by a talk on women's tools and how they are used.
