“Uluru was a very long day but well worth it. The driver Matt (who does the 5 hours there and back from/to Alice Springs) gave us lots of indie action on the way to the rock. We even saw some wild camels! We were greeted by Yad at the village who took over for the tour of the rock. His knowledge and stories were fabulous. The bbq was great with lots of food and drink and only one word for the rock at sunset - stunning The tour was really well organised and well worth the 17 hour day.”
