Emus roam the open areas, and surprisingly, various parrots, lorikeets or cockatoos can be found in most any major grove of trees. This Pied Butcherbird was right at the base to Ayres Rock. After driving thru as much desert as we have lately, I was still absolutely shocked, when Jeanne cried out, “CAMELS”!!

It is of course the food of the Night Parrot , but none were observed on this occasion! Other species of plant that were flowering were the Mulla mulla , Camel bush , a native Hop bush and a variety of salt-bushes. Camel bush. But, that’s what it is all about… right??!! The rim trail. Mulla mulla.

Red-winged Parrots are often camouflaged until they fly across the track and there were several pairs along the track. Along the track we noticed a variety of prints including birds, marsupials and more recently wild camels. Two distant Pied Honeyeaters. Velliia panduriformis. Australian Bustard.
