December 24 – “So this is Christmas!” We had to get up at 03:50 in order to reach a good spot to watch the sun rising behind Uluru. Wonderful!
We then visited Kata Tjuta (aka The Olgas), another impressive domed rock formation and did a hike into the Valley of the Winds.
Next, we travelled to Kings Canyon to our campground to celebrate Christmas: helping in the “kitchen”, baking a damper (bush bread) in the bonfire, drinking some beers and listening to “Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow” at 35° C. What an experience!
Another night to sleep in swags. We were visited by dingoes and also heard them howling in the night.
