Field notes

Field notes from the desk

Dated entries on how this guide was put together. Newest first.

These notes sit behind the guide. They record what we checked, how, and on what day, so you can judge the rest of the site for yourself.

  1. 1Nov
    What we could not find

    Check-in times, parking charges, suites, and six places where two official pages disagree.

  2. 31Oct
    How we measured the rings

    OpenStreetMap routing from the map pin, and why our Uluṟu figure is not the one we print.

    Forty-five years on Barrett Drive

    From Diamond Springs Casino in 1981 to an IHG hotel with 205 rooms and a development plan.

Ask our desk for a room

Two short steps. Our booking desk checks the dates with the hotel or its booking partner and replies by email with what is available and the price. We never ask for a card, and this is not yet a booking.
