Not getting here till 9am made a difference with the light for photos as well - today we have full sun and a cooler southeasterly breeze blowing .
This is the view from the sunset viewing area - it's about 1klm long and has parking for lot's of cars . The sunset viewing area is even bigger , with room for about 60 buses !!!
This was the view as we left around noon from a different spot .
The ride was great , more people though , with 6 bus loads at the start of the climb - it was still closed for climbing due to strong winds at the top .
These are the shelters for people to escape the heat under .
The light really showed up the contours of the rock .
We rode past a water hole and stopped on the bridge for a while to watch the zebra finches having a bath and a drink , there were 50 or 60 of them .
We also stopped at a permanent waterhole for a while , it was nice to get it to ourselves for a while . There was water running out of the rock , when it rains the water soaks into the rock and mystically flows out slowly into this pond area .
Here we are , just so you know we were really here .
Todays ride was much more relaxed than the other day , we managed to see more and take it in rather than being in a rush . We loaded up and headed back home for lunch .
Managed to watch some of the V8's from the Gold Coast and the MotoGP as well , before heading back to the sunset viewing area . The carpark was pretty full when we arrived , we found a spot that wasn't too bad and parked . Next job was to decide where to take photos from - the top of the kayak up on the roof of the ute looked good .
So , here are the results .
That's it for today .
