Uluru and Kata Tjuta by Helicopter

The lodge organizes helicopter rides all day. The most coveted hop is the sunset hop. We are off on our sunset hop.

After the gentle liftoff, we fly to Kata Tjuta.

Next we fly for the sunset view of Uluru.

With the sun set and light fading, we fly back to the lodge. Our tent is third from the left on the front row.

As we depart Ulura, why did we drive 1000 miles to get here and why do we have to drive another 1000 miles to get home?
