Monday 6^th July

On the road again. Nothing much happening today just driving for 9½hrs with stops for brekkie, lunch and petrol. OMG petrol up here is 1.98c/litre.

One of the petrol stops along the way

The Kulgera Pub 

OMG nine and a half hours of nothingness

We free camped the night at Curtin Springs about 100kms from Ayers Rock Resort at Yulara. This is a great place to free camp, lots of travellers stop off here some even use this as their base and go into the rock from here. You can pay $3 and have a shower, which is an experience. The shower rose is a tin can with holes in the bottom of it and the water spurts out in all directions. You can virtually stand underneath it and not get wet but it was hot. 

The modern day shower block

 Great place to see millions of stars and a glimpse at Mount Connor aka fooluru.

From our spot in the free camp site. As you can see we had lots of company which was good. Mt Connor not too far away

Mount Connor is a flat topped mountain as compared to Uluru which is a monolith.

You can see why many people get fooled that this is Uluru if you hadn't seen pictures of the Rock before.

Beautiful sunset after a long day.

Looking forward to the west coast for spectacular sunsets, however, here in The Red Centre they are pretty impressive as well.
