Up for early brekkie and a long bus ride ( about 6 hours including lunch) to Uluru, see MAP, GPS(25 20 38,31S, 131 02 06.31E), stopped along the way at a roadhouse for lunch.

Arrived at Desert Gardens Resort, see MAP, GPS(25 14 20.33S, 133 59 02.08E) at about 2:00PM.

Checked in and got back on the bus for sunset at about 3:00. The hotel is very nice with flowers in bloom and a great view from our window. Breakfast was excellent, but the hotel was far from everything. Arrived at the viewing area, tables with hors d'oevres  and stools for viewing were waiting. Watched and shot photos through sunset,

The next morning we had time for a leisurely brekkie, before heading for Uluru and the airpart. Marjorie saw that you could rent a Harley and driver for a ride around Ulura before our departure. She had ridden Harleys before and thought that this would be a great time to do it again and went for it. She loved her adventure.

We then had time to check out and head for Uluru again on the way to the airport. This was going to the end of the pre-trip and we would join the rest of the group in Cairns, They missed out on a great start to the trip.
