25/5 Kata Tjuta (Olgas) 7.4km walk, took about 3.5 hrs. Quite taxing, lots of up and down, rocky trail. Rose fell into prickle bush, wish I'd had camera, luckily not toxic. Sheer walls of the "domes" make you feel a bit dizzy looking up. Pretty hot, luckily we did walk in the morning, they recommend you finish by 11am on hot days. Too weary to walk into Walpa gorge. Back to park for a well earned swim in the pool.  Had a crack at playing digeridoo. I managed to get The Voice on TV. Rose very happy. Maybe I'll get lucky.

26/5 .Overcast and drizzly. Quite a bit of rain overnight. Head out to the Rock. Look around the cultural centre. Interesting artefacts and videos. Weather clears and we decide to walk the base. A bit of water flowing down the sides. Some great spots, particularly one waterhole. Some amazing formations. 11km flat track. Took exactly 4hrs. Pretty tired by finish. Went to cultural dance exhibition in town centre, managed to avoid getting up to impersonate a kangaroo. Bit worried about van battery, doesn't seem to be holding charge. Hope wont have to replace, not cheap.

27/5 Chilly overnight. Rose put heater on. NOT WORKING!!!!  I pull it apart to try and fix. No go, fan spindle jamming. RIP heater. Decide to vege out today.  Wondered around resort. Self guided Garden tour. Rose headbutted a tree while trying to find native figs. Dinner at Outback hotel. Barrumundi and Crocodile kebabs. Croc a bit chewy. Met couple from Tasy, planning 9 mth trip. Early start tomorrow, probably head to Glen Helen, east of Alice Springs.
