I got up at 5:15 AM (!) to get ready for our flight to Alice Springs in the heart of the Outback. From the airport we drove to Alice Springs for a brief lunch and shopping stop at the Mbantua Gallery, a gallery featuring aboriginal art and an aboriginal cultural museum.

We then departed for Yulara, the resort area near Uluru (Ayer’s Rock), and checked into Sails in the Desert before leaving for Uluru. We watched the sunset and Uluru’s color changes while we enjoyed champagne and canapes. My first taste of the exotic was at dinner – kangaroo ragout – not too bad.
