Yulara!

We are really starting to enjoy life in the desert...though there might be lots of flies, the views and the jobs are worth it!  Tony is enjoying his job as a Chef De Partie (CDP) and I am enjoying my job in reception!  Our little community is called Yulara, which is just outside Uluru (the aboriginal name) or Ayers Rock (the Western name).  It's a great little place to live, which we are really liking!  We have 6 accommdations, 9 restaurants, 1 post office, 1 news agency, 1 grocery store and a few gift shops.  It's FABULOUS! 
We are really enjoying the views, and the desert lifestyle!  The other day when I was at work I got a call from the helicopter pilots, saying that they had one more spot on their flight.  First being in hospo (what the aussies call hospitality) I think, ok how can i sell one seat on a plane....but wait...then I continue to listen and sure enough...HE OFFERS ME THE SEAT!  Heck yeah!!!!  It was just a short little trip to see Uluru but it was well worth it!  I didnt have my camera on me cause I was just at work, so the guy who was flying beside me sent me this email---  THIS IS OUR NEW BACKYARD!!!
