Boomerang Dave's Boomerang Journal

It's December 30 and we return to Sydney today. We packed up our stuff and head onto the dune behind the hotel for a few more photos of Uluru and Kata Tjuta, and an attempt at tossing boomerangs before the temps got really hot. We have learned that there is not much in open space out here, with the desert floor covered in scrub brush and spinaflex plants. The only clear areas were the tops of the dunes, and they were cleared for viewing areas. We get out last photos and go in search of brekkie. After waiting a bit for the shuttle to "town", we discover it is too early for shuttle service and end up walking to the shopping center. We find a place open, which is serving breakfast and get some food. We do some last minute shopping in the stores; then we head back to the hotel to wait for our shuttle to the airport.

The flight back was fine, and after getting our car back from airport parking ($$$) go off in search of luggage. We had stored some of it at the previous stop and after picking it up, headed to our new hotel. We have some trouble finding it, as it is well downtown, on a side street and not well marked. We arrive and find out that there are no arrangements for parking our car. After some discussion, we finally get a spot in a nearby garage at the additional cost of $30 a day. My, the surprises keep coming, don't they? It's starting to get late so we head out for supper and find a wonderful Irish pub a few blocks from the hotel.
