Next on our trip was Aluru aka Ayer's Rock, a very nice geological formation in the middle of Australia, a bit south of Alice Springs. It's actually 2 formations since it has the Olgas just a short distance from it too, and they are similarly impressive.
But we first started with the flight from Coober Pedy, up the famous Stewart's Highway that goes from Adelaide to Darwin, and we were lucky enough to see the world solar race solar cars that were driving down, and also road trains:
this guy drove off the road and just abandonned the car there
that jetstar plane nicely waited for me to land before it went
I only had 10mn to climb maybe a 3rd of it
got as high as this before I had to go back down to get back to the group, something I much regret now
sigh, we could have been there...
instead we drove around the rock, which was nice too, but could have been done at some later time
little birds liked to live in there
they even had a telescope so that we could see saturn
