Last night was the Sounds of Silence dinner for some of us. To be perfectly honest, Bob was completely against paying for the whole thing when we booked as ‘it’s just a way of separating tourists from their money’. Well, even he will admit it was a completely fabulous evening. We decided formal evening this week was now…we were ever so slightly overdressed compared to the other patrons.

The evening started with drinks and canapés overlooking Uluru and Kata Tjuta as the sun set. We moved to our tables under the stars and enjoyed the meal, the company (2 couples from the US and one from Orange completed our table), the didgeridoo playing and the laser guided talk explaining the Aboriginal understanding of the night sky.

Today we headed out to Kata Tjuta (the Olgas) and spent the day completing hikes. The rocks in this formation are composed from a conglomerate rock structure which is completely different than Uluru.

Just like Uluru, the scale was impressive. Bob completed all the walks, and I can confidently say that other than downhill traverses, he is now at least on par with me….I did enjoy it while it lasted 🙂

Tonight we are all heading to the Field of Lights display. Update on that will be in tomorrow’s blog….
