To Yulara

Monday 7^th July 2008

Early rise

Car to brake people – we walked back to town cold and grumpy

To visitor centre to follow up on permit – success!

Paul bought aboriginal art for gift

To Royal Flying Doctor Service centre but waylaid at second hand book shop – more success!

Opposite was Reptile Centre and Paul keener to go there and Holly said she didn’t care

Just in time for excellent talk and display – Bearded Dragon called Isis

- Blue tongue lizard

- Shingle back/Double headed lizard

- Black headed python

Got to hold them all – snake was great – so powerful

Paul on phone to US

Checked out other reptiles – loads of them – best was the Thorny Devils (Molochy Horridus!) – so cute

Crocodile called Terry

I went to pick up the car and trailer

Stopped at HJs for quick drive thru lunch then on our way into the Red Centre

450km drive – very desolate in places

Took photo of Mt Connor

Into Yulara to caravan park

Excellent sunset over Uluru from the sand dune behind our site – better than from all those fancy hotels!

Soooooooo cold – down to 1 degree tonight!
