Alice Springs to Ulura /Ayers Rock

Z

Left Alice Springs, had a passenger a young girl from France whom we are giving a ride to the Kings Canyon turn off.  We stayed just 50Km out of Ayres Rock at a free camping place from which you could climb up the sand dunes and see the rock. There were quite a few people camped there and meet two young sisters from Italy.  Got up early in the morning to see the sunrise on the rock but there was no color change.  Left early for Ulura and arrived  early enough to do the 10.6 Km  base walk around and be finished before it go too hot.  Later went up the outlook to see the sun set but again there was not color change on the rock.  We decided just to drive out to the rock in the morning to see the sun rise, this is when we learnt that we did not have any head lights that worked on the vehicle so could not drive out as it was still very dark.   After the sun was up drove out to the Olga's  and as the temperature was ging to be over 33 C the walks were closed for the day.  So headed out of the park and another night of free camping and then on to Kings Canyon.
