Kata Tjuta

When we played tourists, we were able to get to Kata Tjuta and enjoy a few hikes; on Valley of the Winds and on the Walpa Gorge.  Then we headed to the Sunset viewing point to watch the sunset and change colour of the rocks as we enjoyed a glass (or two or three!) of champagne!

Everyone needs a good Date Day.

Playing tourists

Sometimes there is nothing like taking the day off and exploring the place you live.  Playing tourist is lots of fun, you get to see all the things you tell people to go see.  We got the priviledge of taking a day tour with AAT Kings starting with sunrise at Uluru and then an afternoon at Kata Tjuta.  It was a lovely morning---as seen here!
