We were up about a half hour before the sun and had to race into the park to the other side of the rock to the sunrise lookout spot! We made it there about 5 minutes before the sun came up and got some great pictures. Sunset and sunrise at Uluru, check and check! About 60 km’s away was another bunch of rocks called “The Olgas” we drove about 40km’s to the lookout and weren’t going to go any farther, but thankfully we asked a tour guide if we should and she said we had to go for sure! So we took the advice and were glad we did because the trail that went in between giant rocks with a little stream running down the middle was just amazing! When we got back to the van we cooked up some lamb we bought in Port Augusta and had a little feast with all the other travelers looking at us very jealously! Without a 4WD we seen everything there was to see so we headed up to Kings Canyon and made it there about two hours before the sunset. There was a “canyon rim walk” about 6km’s long we wanted to do, but it was 6:30 and the sign said don’t start the walk after 4:00. Even though we could have done it in time we decided to just walk to the top of the canyon to get some pics and we did get some beauty’s from up there! We made it down to the BBQ sunset spot and had supper watching the sunset on the canyon. We figured the sunrise wouldn’t be so spectacular and were getting a little stinky, haha and decided to start our drive to Alice Springs and just sleep on the side of the highway somewhere.
