A Week with Friends

We have had a wonderful time over the last 7 days with friends Nikki, Ava and Scarlett. Nikki entered the Australian Outback Marathon, and a very big congratulations to her for completing the full distance in the rather tough sandy running conditions. But we have also had a great time doing various activities and sightseeing with Nikki and her daughters.

In addition to the marathon itself, there’s been various sunrise and sunsets at Uluru/Ayers Rock, walks, a visit to the Olgas, Camel ride at sunset. Then we did the drive out to Kings Canyon, and spent a couple of nights there – did the rim walk plus detours, had great fun on a quad bike tour, experienced fine dining in the desert as well as the various camp dinners, spotlighting games and general time spent together.

We all had an awesome time, so thanks Nikki, Ava and Scarlett for sharing your holiday with us. Jonathan and Daniel really enjoyed having active adventurous friends to play with. Nicole and I the same! 🙂 It is going to seem very quiet and boring without you all for a little while (Jonathan has already stated as such!).

This is my first blog post in a while – I haven’t even downloaded all my photos from the last week, let alone written blog posts! Time with friends (in person!) is far more valuable to us (and lack of internet/mobile coverage at Kings Canyon didn’t help), but I plan to put up some pics/posts over time. Apologies to those who have been trying to contact us but we’ve been unable or too busy to respond! We are spending another night or two at Uluru, but we’ll sleep in and miss the sunrise this time!

  1. We had such a great time! Upon arriving home, I have washed the ‘quad bike’ face off in a bid to look professional for work tomorrow and the girls are have showered off the ‘Red Centre’ and gone to bed!
    It was a lively 7 days with not much time for anything between sunsets and sunrises but I wouldn’t change a thing!!! Loved every minute!!! Even the musician dudes bus parked several spaces down seems to have settled in my memories!! Happy, safe travels Trevor’s!!!

    • No, I didn’t enter the event, though I could do a half fine and possibly a full with a lot of pain!! I had originally planned to, but decided against it several months ago. I got to see the course and sights in a more leisurely way 🙂 , just can’t tell people I’ve done the Outback Marathon though!
