Day 37 Yulara to Alice Springs

Today, as Ashley would say, was a 'driving day'. The morning dawned crisp, windy and icy again. The Uluru climb was closed once more so we left fairly early for the drive to Alice Springs. We stopped for lunch in Erldunda and to change drivers and thanked our lucky stars we didn't have to refuel here as the queue was incredible.


We are staying in the MacDonnell Range Big 4 caravan park here for 4 nights. Only a few sites away, we have caught up with Joop and Jannie Wijbenga on their travels up to Darwin. We had a lovely time catching up over a drink and some delicious chocolates - Thankyou both, you really made our day!

The kids have been glued to the jumping pillow since we arrived and there is a playground right next to our site. We didn't see them until after dark! We have already made good use of the laundry (what a money pit the washing is) and are looking forward to a relaxing few days.

We had a little slab of lamb for dinner...marinated in souvlaki spice.  I love Lom....
