Ayers Rock
Just flew out of Ayers Rock today and landed in Cairns (staying at the Global Palace Backpackers Hostel). Uluru was quite spectacular but bloody hot (42 degress) and the flies drove us up the wall (a face net became essential). It was a must-do for 4/5 days but overall the experience was underwhelming in the wow-factor and overwhelming in the wallet. I am hoping the barrier reef holds more excitement and from just shopping around this evening its clear that the east-coast offers better value for money than the west and the centre (pretty obvious really when you think about it but I am now planning on maybe postponing some activities until NZ where it may be cheaper still). The Cook Islands is looking more likely again too.
