Red Centre
Kath and Dave were just down visiting on their bi-annual trip and once again we decided to spend a week of their holiday over in the Red Centre. We had a couple of days in Alice Springs and then two nights at Kings Canyon and two more at the Ayers Rock resort.
After recent heavy rains in the centre, the desert was looking much greener than in previous trips. On a couple of days the temperature didn't even get above 20C and so it didn't really feel like you were in the desert at all. Walking was therefore easy and I had a couple of very pleasant strolls round the Kings Canyon rim walk and the Valley of the Winds at Kata Tjuta but once again I was denied the chance of climbing Uluru. This time the excuse was that it was too windy. Yes, I'll admit there was a bit of a breeze blowing but seriously, it's all a bit silly.
Driving around was also easier than usual as we got a free upgrade at the car hire place and we found ourselves with plenty of room in a Nissan X-trail. The cruise control was a very useful feature for outback driving.
