Half Lap of Australia: Episode 2 - Ultimate Guide to Uluṟu & Central Australia 🌟🚐
Welcome to the second episode of our Half Lap of Australia series! Join us, Megan, Stuey, and our girls Evelyn and Thea, as we continue our epic family adventure.
Day 6:
We had over 700 km of road to cover as we rolled out of Coober Pedy, South Australia, and continued our trek inland, crossing into the Northern Territory. It’s hard to believe it’s been 20 years since I last visited the Red Centre on a school tour.
Our journey began with a stop at Cadney Roadhouse in Wintinna, South Australia, before heading for the border. We captured a memorable photo at the NT Border, then grabbed fuel at the iconic Kulgera Roadhouse. Before turning off the highway, we enjoyed lunch in Ghan at the Erldunda Roadhouse, where we got to hang out with the local emus.
After a long day of driving, we arrived at Uluṟu just in time to enjoy a relaxing grazing dinner while watching the sunset over Australia’s most famous rock. It is incredibly special to see how Uluṟu glows and changes colour during this magical time of the day.
Day 7:
We started the morning at Kata Tjuṯa, exploring the Walpa Gorge. We respected this beautiful location by ensuring all images included both sides of the Gorge in our lens' frame. It was a chilly experience as the wind blows straight through the gorge, but we warmed up quickly back at Uluṟu, where we stopped for lunch and enjoyed the Mala walk.
In the evening, we savoured canapés and drinks while watching the sunset and waited in anticipation for the outback to light up. The Field of Lights installation is incredible, illuminating the desert with thousands of solar-powered lights, creating a mesmerizing and unforgettable sight.
Day 8:
Having seen Uluṟu at sunset, during the day, and at night, it was time for us to witness an Uluṟu sunrise. The light was incredibly soft and beautiful in the cool morning. Unfortunately, Evie was coming down with a slight cold.
After sunrise, we left for Kings Canyon at Watarrka National Park.
Next Episode
Stay tuned as we explore Watarrka National Park, take on the extremely corrugated 4x4 Mereenie Loop, and make our way into Alice Springs before heading back up the middle of this beautiful red dirt country. You won’t want to miss it!
