Day 3. About to watch sunrise here in Alice, then heading to Yulara for beers with some Pitjinjara fellas that i rescued. They had run out of fuel 130km from Cooper Pedy, so i drove on to CP got jerry-can and drove back to help. 260km i bloody drove!!
They are going to teach me about Uluru, what it means to them and their culture. Bought 3 painting from a relative of theirs, dirt cheap, i just happened to have some cash in my wallet from 3 car trips returning beer cans to the depot at 10c per can.
I followed them to Cooper Pedy and one the lads was called Timmy - it was obvious he English was a second language, but out of the 3 of them, he was the most interested in chatting. They said the older one was a park ranger and the other was his grandson Tex. Tex took my mob to call me tomorrow to have a beer with them at Yulara - basically Uluru Resort town - as I have decided to continue on to Alice Springs.
Donnie - just left Spuds about to continue north - avg speed 160km\hr
Pinjara boy - at turn off to Uluru (Lasseters Hwy) - I bought art from his grandmother. About to continue to Alice
