Today we are camped at the turnoff to Ayres Rock.  Col and I decided we would not go into the rock as we figure,  that it has not changed much since 1975.  (Only the surrounds would be different.  We are looking after Joshua and Kobe while Mel and Scott nake the journey out to the rock.

We spent a night at Mataranka during the week.  The thermal pool was really great but the actual caravan park left a bit to be desired.  It was just a dust bowl.  Very disasppointing.  We revisisted Daly Waters pub on the way also.  It was great to see again aand was one of the few places that has not actually changed.

Tomorrow we will be back in South Australia and will be making our way towards Port Augusta then a left hand turn towards Broken Hill and eventuallt home at the end of next week.

Until we meet again ............
