Stillwater Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Our arrival time in Conellan is scheduled for the afternoon, right in time to visit the area during sunset. So we pass Yulara, ... ... from a slight altitude even Kata Tjuta comes into view, ... ... before the famous sunset perspective is ready. Most visitors spend their night in Yulara, some in hotels, ... ... some in tents, ... ... before they get up early to catch the sunrise view. Who has been here before in real? Don´t hesitate to post your teasers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodger Pettichord Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Hey Gerold. You really captured the adventure. Think of those idealistic young backpackers seeing the world and full of life. I liked this a lot. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers John That may be the reason why they call it dreamtime, John. I keep my fingers crossed you can do your postponed OZ trip in the near future, maybe catch a super-discounted biz class flight? 11 hours ago, bvdboomen said: I only missed it for a few 100 miles... in the sky.

VH-KDK Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I was lucky and went there in 1983 before the place was modernised. We spent 2 nights under canvas and had a great evening in the Inland Motel just a few weeks before the truck was driven into the place resulting in 5 deaths. It was a wonderful sight to come out if the tent in the morning and have the rock staring me in the face. It was very much a bush experience those days, even the airport was a dirt strip very close to the rock. I climbed the rock which was a fantastic experience. Great set of images too Gerold.

Fortunately the travel distance is much shorter for me, so I can keep it for later. Don´t break the mountains and have some good photos for us - to compare with FTX NO! 6 hours ago, VH-KDK said: I was lucky and went there in 1983 before the place was modernised.

Great experience report Martyn. It is another fate of our times that formerly exotic places become overcrowded and therefore change themselves. 2019 will be the last year that rock climbing is allowed, and we do not intend to make that anyway.
