Day 2 of Jungle & Yvonne Out & About in the Red Centre.
The day started out with Jungle & Yvonne driving over to the nearby "Olgas" and going for a walk through the "Valley Of The Winds". This part of the Uluru – Kata Tjuta National Park and in some ways more spectacular than the Rock, which is just that – a bloody big rock.
With the Olgas, on the other hand, you are struck by the sheer size and majesty of the area and the ever-changing colours.
On the way back, Jungle went for a bit of a wonder on the Rock, just up to the chain actually, for a few photos and then it was like the Wille Nelson song – On The Road Again and were headed back to Annie & Muggsy's place in the Alice.
