Hitting the road heading for the 'Rock' took us back to the Lasseter Highway before turning right. I do not know the reason but travellers tend to 'decorate' trees at diferent places, one spot is at this junction where numerous t-shirts hang from a dead looking tree. It is not long before you witness what many probably believe is their first sighting of the rock but it is in fact Mt. Conner. A large flat topped mountain appears....a photo opportunity before continuing arriving at the camping ground at Yulara. Max and I quickly organised ourselves for a trip to the Olgas as we only have 2 days here, (flying to Brisbane for a wedding) arriving back Sunday to catch up with the others who will be already on their way to Coober Pedy. We got our first glimpse of the Rock coming in and it is truly awesome and then to see the Olgas in the background and driving closer was exciting. The Winds of the Valley walk is the one recommended so off we went. It was a bit hot but again the effort is rewarded as the beginning is quite hard and is approx. 7.6 ks in length. Feeling tired but exhilerated we met Pedro, Lyn Kev and Karen at the sunset viewing spot to enjoy a glass of champagne and nibblies to witness sunset at this magnificent place.
