Hells bells it was bitterly cold this morning. When we finally got into the car at 10 to 8 it was –5 then. Heavens knows what it was between 4 and 6 (isn’t that usually the coldest time of the day?). Not a lot of fun when you have to get up in the middle of the night. The inside of the tent was lined in ICE and Tony had ice on the inside of his windscreen and his water pump was frozen. We couldn’t wait to get into the cars and drive off.
Drove to Erldunda for coffee and fuel and said goodbye to Tony and Jennifer.
Stopped at Mt Ebenezer roadhouse – they were advertising an aboriginal Art show, quite a nice little stop if you are hungry or thirsty. We drove on to Curtain Springs for our coffee stop.
Got into Yulara about oneish and set up camp – it is getting very busy. Helen and Ian arrived about three and for the first time we had happy hour. Went to the Outback pioneer for tea and got a phone call from Barbara and David wondering where the place was, they had driven all the way to Uluru.
We did the BBQ thing for tea, bought the meat, cooked it ourselves and had ‘all you can eat’ salad bar with fruit crumble and custard for desert. We had crocodile sausages and emu sausages. They had a singer entertaining us and the place filled up very quickly.
Barbara and David arrived and we went back to their caravan for a chat.
