After Uluru we took a bus out to Kata Tjuta which is about 40km from Uluru. Unfortunately it was with the talkative Wren who bored us rigid with more piffle. (Isabelle can now do an extremely good impersonation of her). However, Kata Tjuta (or “The Olgas” as they used to be known) are stunning. Much harder to take photos of compared to Uluru. They’re considerably larger and you can walk through the gorges between each lump of rock.
It’s very hard in the picture to get the impression of scale of the rocks…which is probably why they’re a lot less famous than Uluru. Here is a better picture taken by a professional. Still doesn’t do it justice.
So, off to Cairns now to stay in Palm Cove and lie on the beach. More from there.

Dear Hannah
We miss you a lot. Open Day was a great success but we missed you being a host in the classroom.
The rocks in the photo look awesome and huge. We’ve finished the Greeks and are now doing Geography looking at the environment and transport. We’re looking forawrd to our trip to Norwich cathedral and the puppet show but wish you could come.
It’s nearly the holidays too!
It’s boiling hot here, especially in our classroom.
Lots of love

Hi Hannah
I miss you lots, open day was cool. Lucky that you are off school this long, having fun at school but would rather be with you.
Best Wishes
