Uluru by helicopter

After checking into our hotel at 12:30 [took us 21 hours/including our 4.5 hour nap – NOT BAD!]

We booked a 30 min helicopter flight for that afternoon and a sunrise bus tour for the next morning. At 16:15 we were picked up by the Ayers Rock Helicopters company and we were transported to the airport.

Our pilot’s name was Emma. The flight was absolutely the coolest and most amazing part of the trip. It was the best and is the most recommended way to se Uluru. The flight took us past Uluru, the city of Uluru, and the Kata Tjuta [The Olgas]. Tracy was silent most of the flight as her microphone was not working properly. I did most of the talking while Tracy nodded and Emma asked if she was alright.
