We couldn't come to Australia and not visit one it's most famous attractions. There is quite a set up here or should I say monopoly. You have one resort to choose from that offers everything from camping to a 5 star hotel. These rating's are self administered as our 4 star room was clearly 3 star.

The scene is set as soon as you arrive, plenty of flies, red sand and great big sandstone rocks. Aside from Ayers rock there are also the Olgas which in my opinion are more interesting. Having never been in a helicopter before we took a 30 min tour of both Ayers Rock and the Olgas. After watching AirWolf as a kid I was a bit surprised at how slow the helicopter seemed to go.

For dinner we took a short trip out into the desert to the "Sounds of Silence" where we enjoyed fine Australian fine, Kangaroo, Crocodile, Emu and some more traditional foods. Quite spectacular watching the sunset over Ayers Rock and the Olgas.
