Australia - 5 - Uluru to Alice Springs to Sydney

 Tuesday, 4 April 2023

The original plan was to fly from Uluru (Ayers Rock) to Sydney, but flight schedules change, so instead we had a 5-hour, 440 km, drive through the outback to Alice Springs, where we caught a flight to Sydney. While it meant we had to get up early - long before dawn, it did give us a real taste of the outback: super-huge cattle stations, road trains (up to 5 long trailers behind a single truck tractor), and traditional roadhouses with diners and accommodations.

We reached the Mt Connor overlook at sunrise.

Maybe we were just exceptionally lucky, but Australian sunrises were spectacular.

Evening at the Darling Harbour in Sydney.
