This morning I decided to wash, clean and tidy. It was windy and cool. By lunchtime we were done and on our way to Kata Tjuta (‘Many Heads’ aka ‘The Olgas’).

Waipa Gorge was our first walk – a freezing wind greeted us and blasted us under a grey sky of wave clouds. Still, I was enchanted by the variety of flowers blooming in this desert setting. It looked like more rain would arrive for them today, in the distance thunderstorms brewed.

We warmed up with a lunch at the sunset viewing area as the sun peered through and afterwards decided to tackle the Valley of the Winds walk before returning to Uluru.

The over 7km walk was beautiful – many flowers, beautiful colours, the glimpses of ecosystems on top of the domes, steep paths and breathtaking views.

We drove back under a threatening sky to Uluru to admire it once more for a stormy sunset that brought some rain to the Red Centre.
