Alice Springs to Uluru 440kms

We left Alice Springs this morning and were surprised to see that the Todd River was running.  It is usually dry.  There was rain yesterday, some quite heavy, and there has been a lot of rain this year.  Much more than normal.

Looking at Todd River flowing through to Heavy Tree Gap.

The water is flowing across one of the causeways.

We climbed a sandhill on the way in to Yulara (township near Uluru/Ayres Rock) for our first look at this amazing monolith

This is one of the sunset pictures.  We joined the crowds waiting for the sun to set, just inside the National Park.
