Lightning storms are beautiful to watch in Yulara by the Ayers Rock Resort and I loved to watch it in the sky during the summer months of extreme weather conditions and it is a typical desert climate.

[@EatWalkLearn]

I bet!

[@pongkoj2]

We have this booked for June. We booked the cabin at the campground for 3 nights for $133/nt US. I liked your viewing and hiking schedule. Not sure we will need the bug nets but we have them.

[@EatWalkLearn]

I'm not sure what the bugs are like in June, but the nets are priceless. There's a good communal kitchen at the Outback hotel near the campground that has a large refrigerator, two micros, two stoves, a jangle maker, sink. Have fun!

We were there two weeks ago, and the flies were very annoying. We bought the fly nets ($7) and they helped a lot. We stayed at Sails in the Desert, which was very nice. We cooked our own meat on the grill at the Outback BBQ one night. We did the sunset tours at both Ayers Rock and the Olga’s, but we didn’t do the expensive field of lights. We spent about $50 in the IGA for snacks and breakfast. Ate at the Gecko Cafe and at the bar in our hotel. A beautiful but expensive bucket list trip.

In the summer and Friday you get to see the summer lightning storms in Uluru- Kata. Tjuta and watch it safe in Yulara by the Ayers Rock Resort? Lightning is very beautiful to watch in the southern part of the Australia’s Northern Territory and the there are many flies in the outback. The black flies are crazy there in the Australian outback. It started to rain and seeing the cloud to ground lightning strikes. Did you watch lightning in Yulara and it one of areas to storms in the desert. Lightning storms are spectacular to watch it in Yulara by the Ayers Rock or Uluru in the township in Uluru -Kata-Tjuta and watch out flash floods.

Good to know

I'm so glad I did this 20+ years ago as a backpacker. I took a group tour from Adelaide up to Alice Springs, and then another from there to Darwin. We were camping and sleeping out under the stars most nights. I have no idea what it cost anymore, but it was a backpacker budget that I'm sure would be hard to replicate now - I'm probably too old to be sleeping in the dirt. lol. It is a terrific memory and I'm so glad I did it, but I also hear your point that sometimes cool places just get so expensive it makes it a harder call whether it is worth the money or not. David really wants to go but we'll see what we decide the next time we are in Oz.

[@EatWalkLearn]

That sounds like a fun trip, you hippie

[@alissaburge6375]

Sometimes the severe weather update of severe thunderstorms hit the Lasseter district and be careful and stay safe during extreme weather conditions in Uluru and in the township of Yulara with intense lightning and heavy rain and also the damaging winds in the Lasseter district in the southern part of NT of central Australia.

Will do

Uluru used to be grey. This one seems hard to believe when seeing its current distinctive rich red colour, but its true! Before the sandstone rock was exposed to water and oxygen it was a grey colour - this can be seen when looking at inside surfaces. The iron minerals in the rock that were exposed to millions of years of erosion and elements oxidized and rusted, leading to the striking colour it is today. It is taller than New York’s Chrysler Building And the Eiffel Tower in Paris. It can be hard to grasp how large Uluru is, but when you think about how tall these famous buildings are it certainly helps to put things into perspective. For context - the Chrysler Building is made up of 77 floors. What’s even more amazing is that Uluru is even bigger underground. The part we see above ground has been exposed to millions of years of erosion, however under the earth Uluru is vast - it continues 2.5km below the surface.

[@EatWalkLearn]

It's like an iceberg!

[@tonyneal4716]

As an Australian, who's never been to Ayers Rock/Uluru, but would like to see that Aussie icon but i think that it would be too tommie tourist for me.

[@EatWalkLearn]

It is certainly touristy...

[@barnowl.]

No mention of the vast , incredible night sky of star constellations !? Because Australia is 'down under' and our globe is tilted it gets a much better and greater view of The Milky Way Galaxy of which our planet, Earth , is on the edge. As there is very little artificial night lighting in this mostly unpopulated area and the skies are clear of cloud and smog, the area is excellent for magnificent experience which some regard as a spiritual experience, and certainly the indigenous peoples do.

[@EatWalkLearn]

Yes. the stars were fabulous. However we had cloudy nights and didn't have a good night for star gazing.

Flys ...some places you go have way to many other places have hardly none ..sometimes you wonder what all those flys eat in the outback...they probally eat dead camels 🐫 and kangaroos snakes n lizards .in Melbourne where l live maybe see 2 flies a day in summer the last few years .some summers have more ..l got a returning boomerang. l threw it often when l was young l could catch it 8 times out of 10 throws..the aboriginal art is good isn't it...

[@EatWalkLearn]

Inorite?

[@pongkoj2]

you have a very good travel video content on your channel, your video is so engaging. But ,as we see you don't have much more views/ engagement. You need to optimize your channel/ fix your problems.

[@EatWalkLearn]

Thank you, I will

[@HGills]

oh dear ... we don't use the 'a' word for our First Nations or Indigenous Australians anymore, it's generally regarded as inappropriate :(

[@EatWalkLearn]

Oh thank you so much. We tried so hard to use the right language here. We sincerely apologize for any disrespect caused.

[@-jacinta-]

Hi - just politely chiming in here. I wonder if the "a" word you're referring to is "Aborigine,"? Then yes, this is considered offensive by most now due to the derogatory way it was applied during the country's Colonial past. It's also just a primitive-sounding word, in my view. It makes me cringe when I've heard visitors to our shores in YT videos use it, but I figure they just don't know the history, and or this is the word their schooling taught them (in fact, I think mine did here in SA back in the 80s, too), so I'm sure no offence is ever intended by them. I heard Steve and Chris use "Aboriginal" in their video, which is perfectly fine and often still preferred by many. It's just a shortened version of "Aboriginal Australian/s or Aboriginal Peoples", and we do like to shorten or nickname everything, after all. Aboriginal, Indigenous, and First Nations are all respectful and widely used terms. Palya 🙂

[@-jacinta-]

@@EatWalkLearn Palya, hi, Steve and Chris. You did great! I appreciated the disclaimer comments you included in the video. They were very thoughtful and respectful. & FYI, the term Aboriginal, which you used, is actually fine to use and often preferred by many, including myself. I've provided more detail in a reply to the original commenter, if you're curious. All the best on your adventures ahead! You're welcome back to Oz anytime 🙂

[@nanniecath528]

Using the word Aboriginal is fine.
