Lost and Found

We said goodbye to Uluru and we were on the road way before those pesty flies woke up.  An hour down the road, Steve screams out “ F*&@, “I left the bloody tap connector attached to the tap at Uluru and we don’t have a spare.” We stopped at several roadhouses in the hope that they would have one on the shelf. Wishful thinking!

I was ok about him losing the tap connector because one week into the trip we stopped to refuel and have a bite to eat in the van. Later that afternoon we pulled up for the night in a rest area, Steve opens the van door and says ” You left the portable step behind.”

By midday we were at King’s Canyon. We had the most amazing view of the canyon from our site and the sunsets were spectacular.

Back to the tap connector…

A family from Dubbo who camped on the site next to us at Ayer’s Rock Camp Ground, pull up adjacent to our site at King’s Canyon. Steve from Dubbo gets out of the car, approaches Stephen and says ” I have a present for you!” and with that he hands Stephen the tap connector.

I can’t tell you how elated we we were to have that tap connector. We spent the evening chatting and drinking way too many and it was Lauren who convinced us to do the most challenging of all the walks at Kings Canyon.
