My second day in the park, I was back at #Uluṟu, opting for a Segway tour around the base to avoid walking in the heat. In the evening, I made an impromptu visit to Kata Tjuṯa. I'm so glad I did.

A few things pop into mind when I think of #Sydney: the Opera House, a flat white, and #BondiBeach. An Uber driver suggested the coastal walk from Bondi, and so I set out to do the walk to Coogee on my second day in the city.
