Today we left Uluru early but not before having another look at the rock. We then set off in the car towards Kings Canyon. It was raining again and in some sections along the road it was raining quite heavily.
Helen & Trevor had told us to make sure we stopped at the lookout at Mt Connor and climb the sand dune on the other side of the road. They didn’t say why and we expected it was to get a better look at Mt Connor. It was raining and cold but we set off up the sand dune. Boy, are we glad we did. Thank you Helen & Trevor. Over the top of the sand dune is Lake Armadeus, a salt lake with a small island in the middle. It is stunning. The salt turns the landscape a pinkish colour. Oh, and you do also get a better view of Mt Connor. There are no signs about the lake so it comes as a big surprise, one we wouldn’t have discovered if we hadn’t been told.
