Stillwater Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 We continue the flight from my last post ... ... with a BBQ lunch at Yulara campground, unfortunately you cannot see the smoke from the white roof below. Heading east we follow the (only) road and pass Curtin Springs. A roadhouse to be recommended, and why won´t anybody be stopping here - with cold drinks, hot air and a good sense of humour? North of Lasseter Highway is a big salt pan... ... to the south you can see the 3rd big rock in the area: Fooluru. Aka Mt. Conner, aka Artila. Navigation is easy here: We took the first crossroad to the north, onto Luritja Road. A while later Giles Road splits off to the east. It does not only look different in the sim... ... it also requires a bit different driving style, if you want to use it as a shortcut to Henbury Craters and Alice Springs. But we headed north along the George Gill Ranges... ... until it was time to look for Kings Creek Station airstrip. There it is, together with a notorious tree. And a fine campground just next to the runway. Indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, as per your interest, here is the outhouse at this campground: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerribleT Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Wow! Very interesting set and, as you said in your last Part 1 tour, the tourist infrastructure is vastly improved since 1985 - back then bitumen only on the Uluru Road from the Stuart Highway, a caravan park/camping ground and Hotel at Uluru and nothing else!

Thanks TT. A fascinating area today, and it must have been so even more 35 years ago. Or 350 years ago. Or 3500 years ago. Just the same. Imagine that...

Sand in the shoes is correct. A spider in the kitchen and a snake next to my tent, but all very shy. And an unforgettable view of the Milky Way.
