My goodness, Dave's been busy, hasn't he? I was surprised to see so much new material on the blog. I only have a few minutes, so am just logging on to say that all is well here in the interior. Temperatures are indeed high, up to 36 degrees Celsius in the shade and 42 in the sun.
Uluru was brilliant this morning, although we had to set our alarms at 04:00 in oder to be there for sunrise. They request people not to climb the rock these days and encourage a walk around the base. Wonderful and I'll post photos on my return to Sydney. I've taken far too many, as always!
At King's Canyon now and will be up early again tomorrow morning to get up on the ridge before returning to Alice.

In the outback
No word from Jean at the time of writing since yesterday when she reported temperatures of 42C in the sun and 30s in the shade. She had seen the sun setting at Uluru and was returning to camp. I am sure the pictures will be fantastic when she gets back to wi-fi civilisation.
Meanwhile, I am off to cricket media dinner tonight courtesy of an old colleague of mine, Greg Buckle, who now works for the Australian Associated Press (AAP) in Sydney. Dave

In the pink
Third day of the third and final test at the Sydney Cricket Ground eventually went Australia's way and they lead by 151 with all second innings wickets intact going into day four.
A gallant 89 from South African wicketkeeper Mark Boucher may not have been enough but his side already held a winnng 2-0 lead in the series going into this match.
The day was dedicated to Jane McGrath, wife of fast bowler Glenn McGrath, who died last year after a long battle against breast cancer. Virtually everyone in the crowd was wearing something pink. Dave
