Great Places To Visit - Uluru, Yulara Resort, N.T. Australia

Well I don't think there is a more spectacular place to visit in Australia than Uluru. We have visited before and will no doubt visit again. We stayed with our caravan for a week in the camping grounds of the Yulara Resort near Uluru. Very good spot.

The Yulara Resort shopping precinct is excellent for tourist. Plenty of things to purchase. There is also a very good IGA supermarket, one of the best we have seen in a remote area.

The purpose of coming here of course is to see "The Rock". Well I've now had the fun of seeing it in all kinds of light at many different times of day. Of course I did the obligatory sunrise and sunset, that's what I really came for and also to walk around the base. We did this over a number of days so I could stroll along and take numerous photos. Wonderful time spent is all I can say. So worth the long trek up here with the caravan. As it was April (2021) when we arrived it was fairly quiet. We booked in at the office for 1 week and were pleasantly surprised to be offered a stay 3 nights pay for 2 deal, which we were allowed to double up on. So normally a powered /water campsite costs $52/night, but with the deal it worked out to $35/night. What a bargin!!!

Anyway enough prattle. The weather was simple gorgeous every day, 25-27 C and cool at night 9-12C. Now I'll show you some of the excessive amount of photo's that I took. I hope it wets your appetite to visit this incredible piece of "rock" in the centre of this amazing country.

My Favourite Recipe Book for Slices -The Australian Women's Weekly Little Squares & Slices

Well I can only tell you that baking was boring and uninteresting before by dear sister-in-law introduced me to this wonderful cookbook. The Womens Weekly Little Squares & Slices. The easiest, tastiest and some are even healthy little treats that you can make, encourage you to bake for kids fairs, church fundraisers etc. A few of them even freeze well, so I have a day where I cook up the freezable ones. Then I leave an assortment of (usually cook 3) them in a cake tin on our kitchen table (the gathering and eating place) and freeze the rest cut and ready to go with baking paper between the layers. That way I just take out a little of each at a time (there's only hubby and I at home now) and we don't "pig out" on them before the slice goes stale. It's also handy when friends/family drop in unexpectedly as you can go to the freezer and take some out and in about 5 mins they are ready to eat, depending on the slice. My favourite to freeze is chocolate ca...
