This morning we visited the Information Centre in Yulara and checked out the displays there. We walked through the hotels and then returned to the campsite for lunch. We then took a drive out to Uluru a 20km drive from the campground and took a few more shots.
Tonight we are attending the 'Sounds of Silence' dinner which is held every night of week. It begins with a 10 minute coach trip after picked up from our accommodation down a private dirt road to a sunset location overlooking Uluru. We were then served champagne and canapes and watched the sunset over the rock to the melodic beat from a talented didgeridoo player. Whilst we were here watching the sunset we got chatting to a young couple from Canada, James and Alisha and decided to form a party of four. We were joined at the table by two other couples (newly weds) one couple from England, the other from Italy. The wine, beer and champagne flowed and we were treated to a traditional Aboriginal dance performance followed by a 3 course bushtucker inspired buffet.
After dinner we were treated to an exploration of the night sky by an astronomer pointing out the constellations in the magnificent display of stars above us with a laser. He also had telescopes trained on Saturn for us to look through.
We really enjoyed the night but it was over to soon. So after dessert, port and coffee we filed back to the coach and were ferried back to our accommodation. An Anniversary night to remember.
