WE DID NOT EXPECT THIS AT ULURU!
Uluru and Kata Tjuta are two of Australia’s most iconic landmarks, but after unseasonal rain, we experienced them in a way few visitors ever do. From rare water lingering around the base of Uluru to spectacular walks, incredible wildlife encounters and unforgettable sunsets, this was a visit we’ll never forget.
Join us as we explore the heart of Australia’s Red Centre, discovering the cultural significance and breathtaking beauty of Uluru and Kata Tjuta. We take in the stunning Kata Tjuta Dune Walk, wander the historic Mala Walk, visit the hidden gem of Kuniya Falls, and finish our time with one of the world’s most iconic sunsets over Uluru.
In this episode:
• Uluru after rare unseasonal rain
• Exploring Kata Tjuta and the spectacular Dune Walk
• Walking the culturally significant Mala Walk
• Visiting beautiful Kuniya Falls

You guys are certainly living the dream.
I bought a new Prado and I'm in the process of making it Lap ready. You have given me the motivation I need to get things done.
I’m loving watching this adventure. Uluṟu’s such a magic place. Well done on your videos…you’re really capturing it well!
Shaping up to be a ripper trip.. planing our lap for next year.. how long have you got planned for yours?
Ooohhh tugging at my heart strings. We were at Uluru in June last year and we would go back in a heartbeat. FYI we had a much drier camp site 😅
This brings back some memories and we were only there last August….ayers rock campground we had rain the olgas was very windy and raining and so was uluru but hey we’re use to it here in the uk…it did put a little dampener on the experience as it was our main highlight of our trip but none the less,was it’s the best place I’ve ever been it’s magical isn’t it!!! It’s quite emotional when you first see it and when you’re up close it’s 🤯 it truly is the most beautiful place 🧡 can I ask what number you had at Ayers Rock campground ? Ours was 13 on tjakura…it looked like you were in the same spot as we camped in. What an epic experience we didn’t know about the other walk you did…we can leave that for next time. Thanks for sharing really enjoyed watching this one 🤗 thanks guys and safe travels.
Beautiful video thank you Paul and Tan . It was so relaxing with the music . Wow Uluru is truly magnificent , I hope I get the chance to see it one day . You sure were lucky with your campsite that other caravan just about needed a kayak to leave their front door ! It looks very cosy in Simba . Can't wait until next weekend to see what you get up to during the week . Happy travels 😀
Hi Guys, loving your episodes. Wondering if you could show us around your set up, food for thought. Thanks
Would you rather the “weatherman” forecast was wrong and you took a route that got you into trouble, or would you rather the forecast was conservative and you could make some good decisions…?
Weather forecasting is not an exact science, I don’t like people complaining about forecasts and then getting into trouble and expecting a government to rescue them.
Forecasts are advice, they get it wrong sometimes but mostly they give good advice.
