After we arrived at Uluru we set up and then went to see Grandma and Grandpa and relax in the air-conditioning since it was 40 degrees outside!  The next day we did the Mulga walk and visited the cultural centre.

The next day we went out to Kata Tjuta and walked 5km in 37 degree heat and there is something you should know – 37 degrees and 5km walks don’t mix!  By the end more than half the family was in a very bad mood at how Dad seemed to be wearing an air-conditioned suit.  He never minds what temp it is!!

After all that heat we decided to ride the 9km around the rock in the early morning!  I spotted a Thorny Devil by the side of the track!. Dad took a photo of him from the top and he blended in really well.

On the last full day at Uluru we did a dot art workshop.  I thought that it was good fun and I am very proud of my work!  Maybe I could teach you about dot painting when we get home. Later that night we to a buffet.  It had massive seafood platters with lots of meat and soups as well.  My favourite part was the desserts!  They had lemon tarts, chocolate panacota, cheese cake, opera slice, cream brulle, flourless orange cake and best of all a chocolate fountain with bits of fruit to dip in it.  It was the best dinner on the whole trip so far!!

Bye from Sam.
