Uluru National Park
On our way to Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, we spotted the incredible Mt Connor about 100 kilometres out. What a sight it was! Mt Connor is a stunning flat-topped mesa with 100-metre cliffs and a fascinating collection of rock fragments at its base. Unfortunately, you can’t drive there since it’s on private property—Curtain […]

Darwin
Our next home for the next few days was the Coolinga Tourist Park, situated on the outskirts of Darwin. It was within walking distance of Woolworths, Coles, and Kmart.
