We just got back from our 4 day camping trip in Central Australia. What an adventure! We left Alice Springs early Thursday morning and drove to Watarrka-our first destination. It is a huge canyon that we climbed through. The first part of the climb was called heart attack hill. It has this name because it is a fitness climb and gets your heart pumping! Our first night of camping was rustic and out in the Australian bush. We collected our own firewood as a group, built a fire, and cooked dinner over it. We slept on the ground in swags. On our second day we got to see Uluru aka the Rock. Unfortunately we did not see it change colors at sunset or sunrise because there was no sun! It was still an unforgettable sight though. On our third night of camping we stayed at Rainbow Valley which was truly a rustic camping experience because we did not even get to build a campfire because there was no pit (and we did not want to cause a bush fire). Luckily it did not rain on us that night and it was fairly warm too. We had seen our fair share of rain this camping trip which was very surprising because we were in the desert which is supposed to be a dry place for the most part.
