Brilliant, glad you had a good trip, but you should take the dogs with you next time, we do every time we both go away.

Unfortunately everywhere we were going was national Park, and they don't allow dogs in, even little ones like ours..
Just unloaded, now give it a very very good wash and clean, then I can relax and work on a bit of a story, atheist the wife took 1000 photos or more.

Finally freed up the time to do a write up on the trip.
day 1, we left home early in the morning, and because everything between home and the desert is pretty boring we drove for around 14 hours to get through it all, and made camp that night in a roadside rest stop.
the only downside was when a cattle truck parked up on the road at 4am and we had cattle moving the truck and making noise until dawn.
But we made breakfast in the morning and got going again.

 

 

We drove on past Coober Pedy for 8 hours and made camp that night off the road in a large clearing.

The next day we arrived at uluru, got a camp site, had a shower and went to watch the sun set on the rock, the next day we walked around the rock, when and walked around the Olga's, then headed to kings canyon late that afternoon.

The camp at kings canyon station that night was interesting to say the least, the dingos there are quite bold, come sun down they started howling, we started getting dinner ready and every time we turned our back they come darting out to steal food or rubbish.
they were that bad that they even stole my wife's thongs that morning and we had to chase one down to get one back.
then we headed out to the canyon and spent the day doing the big walk.

The next day we drove to Cobber Peady, got a room in an under ground hotel, and went to walk through some opal mines and went to watch the sun set over the broken country.
We then drove across the border the next day for one final camp, got up the next day and drove the last 8 hours home.
