And please make sure you head out to the Olgas and do the long walk - some of the most spectacular scenery I saw in the whole of Aus

.....and you're just the man for the job Mark

Good luck to you both, Mark and Penny. Hoping this one fits better.

The sunset chopper flight over the rock and the Olgas is pretty good...

And pop down to the village green for the free Aboriginal dance show. I thought it was pretty good.

You can camp in the overflow area for $10/person/night. Just need to walk to the amenities. Also some of the cheapest LPG refills I have had at the Resort shop.

Enjoy

Just got word we are off to Warburton

Waiting for the paperwork to come through. After checking our references we passed with flying colors and they are keen to have us.

On the road again

Mark

yeah make the effort to get some waterfall pics of the rock if it rains hard enough

Hi Mark
I work for a convenience store magazine and, if you are okay with it, it might be nice to do a story on your life running a store in a very remote area. Coincidentally we are leaving Sydney on Saturday to head to Uluru and will be arriving in about 7-10 days and not returning to Sydney for a month. I won't be contactable for that time.
If you could PM me tomorrow, that would be good, or we could get in touch after my return. Maybe even meet up on the road?
Cheers
Keith

Be some awsome colors too with the rain bringing out the richness, wonder how much actualy pools on top and not runs off .

McGirr · « **Reply #69 on:** April 03, 2015, 04:54:03 PM »

Well Ayers Rock in one word , Amazing!!!

Photos of the rock do not do it justice. The sheer size of it is hard to comprehend. Driving around it, it changes shape and design. The weather today was good and we missed any chance of pics with the drizzle we had last yesterday afternoon. You can stand there for hours looking at it.as it is a days drive from our new job at Warburton we will come back to spend time and do an aerial tour of the area.

We decided to lash out and bought a camera. A Fuji model but with a set lense. Good enough for us to learn with before we upgrade in the future.

The photos attached are from our phones. We are going to take sunrise pics tomorrow and do a walk around the rock.

Mark

Spent today cycling around Ayers Rock. Attended the sunrise viewing but the clouds hid the sun. I had to laugh when Penny was blown off her bike by a large gust of wind.

Current fuel prices in Ayers Rock are $2.04 for both petrol and Diesel.

Tomorrow morning we head off for our drive to Warburton.

Terry W4 · « **Reply #71 on:** April 04, 2015, 05:34:13 PM »

Have followed your desert change with interest. You will need to change your signature block now Mark.

BTW - what is the price of diesel in Alice?
