Outback-Day Five

We left our underground bunkhouse before light to catch sunrise over the Breakaways - location for films such as "Mad Max 3" Then we drove for over 700 kms and into the Northern Territory to get to Uluru (Ayers Rock) for sunset. On the way we stopped at the Aboriginal community of Indulkana, where we visited an arts centre. Uluru is amazing, it stands in the middle of a huge flat plain and is colossal, changing colour as the day goes on.

The 'Crazy German' (as no-one is sure of his name) who has been travelling around Australia with his two camels for the past 5 years!

One of the many huge roadtrains that travel through the outback from Darwin to Adelaide
