Coober Pedy to Yulara (Uluru's town)

Coober Pedy to Yulara (Uluru’s town)

Woke in Coober Pedy and took the drive through the Breakaways.   The drive took us to the Dog Fence.  From there it headed through some amazing rock formations.  Brad couldn’t help himself, he had to get a Ford marketing photo.


One of the rock formations was called “Two Dogs”.  It was a  white and brown formation which the Aboriginals called the dogs and a pointed formation being the man that looked after the dogs.



Our original plan was to stay at Agnes Creek, however as we were there at 1pm and so close to the NT border we wanted to push on.  Hooray!! Northern Territory!!

 
We spent the night on on the Lasseter Highway tucked behind some bushes.  We set up camp and had a nice fire.  Because we pushed on that meant that our drive to Uluru (Ayres Rock, this is what I am going to call it from now on because that is what I know it as) would be considerably shorter.










We arrived in Yulara and set up camp fairly early and walked around town to see what was available.  Brad was happy with his purchase of an Akubra.  Our campsite is right next to the lookout and we got a great view of the sunsetting.
