Day 18 Yulara

6 June,

I know that yesterday I said that today we were going to go into the national park and have a close-up look at Uluru and Kata Tjuta.

Well, that didn't happen.  This morning we decided to have a quiet day instead and I am very glad we did.  We both felt that we could do with a rest and so this morning we did nothing more than sit in the sun and enjoy a cup of coffee and a long chat with our next-door neighbours.

This afternoon, we caught the resort shuttle bus into the shopping centre.  After having a bit of a wander about, we joined the audience for a performance by a traditional indigenous dance troupe.  As well as being an insightful cultural event, it was also really good fun with a fair bit of audience participation.

Tomorrow we are really going to try and get to the national park.  I hope we don't get distracted.

Here are some of today's pictures.  I had also taken some of Uluru and Kata Djuta from the caravan park but they were not good enough to show here.

Bev and the troupe after the event.  They are not indigenous to this area.  They come from the Hunter Valley .  We were very lucky to catch this performance.  It was the group's last show in Yulara before returning to the Hunter.
