Day 12, Erldunda
Slept like a log and awoke just before sunrise.
Headed to Kata Tjuta and did a shortish gorge walk before the day warmed up too much. Saw a flock of budgies flying around and drinking from a rock-pool.

Then I returned to Uluru and completed a circumnavigation by car. It really is quite impressive. The surprise for me is how lush the surrounding countryside is, with many plants flowering at the moment -- Grevillea, Hakea, Thryptomene, Erimophila, Acacia, Ptilotus, Calandrinia, to name a few.

Weird sort of hazy, smoky day, not quite as hot as yesterday. The sun was blood red as it sank. Not sure what that means?
