Today we walked around the Olgas it was down hill for the first little bit. It was Very rocky you had to be vary careful where you step. There was a very steep, big rock that you had to climb/walk up. Then there was another hill to go up. When you get to the top there is another longer walk that you can go on but we didn’t go on that one. It looked really steep from where we were but when you go a bit to the edge it wasn’t as bad but it was still very steep. We then went back. It was a bit hard to go down the big steep rock. I went down it twice. The Olgas are known as Kata Tjuta and are made up of sandstone conglomerate rocks unlike uluru being a monolith – one rock. We then went to the first ever camel races in Yulara. We missed the first race. It had some games like egg and spoon race and throw the boot. We didn’t see the last few races. Mum Tara and I went on a helicopter ride at the races as well. Then we came back Tara, Dad and I went to the volley ball court. We played this throw to throw game because the soccer ball we were using was to hard to play volley ball. Then we had a play on the play ground and played some more catch game. We then went back to have dinner.

Great to see where you have been, lots of oooh’s and aaaahh’s in the kitchen. Is Kelly enjoying her trip? She must be taking the photo’s as we haven’t seen her in one yet!!!!
Tess, we loved your descriptions of climbing/walking in the Olgas. we know what good rock climbers you are. Weren’t you lucky to have both a helicopter ride AND the 1st ever camel races at Uluru. Your photos are really fantastic. I especially love the almost dark one of the Olgas and the Uluru one underneath it. It’s also a great action shot of the camel race.
We have had 3 perfect days in a row here. Today our painters ( Maurie and Peter from the Walking Group )finished painting our house. We’re very happy with the result.
We LOVE your blog entries! Love to all, G M
