Uluru

Last week we flew to Uluru! I haven't ever seen this part of the world before and it was amazing. The red dirt and the size of Uluru and the Kata Tjutas was quite incredible. We saw the sunset over Uluru and the sun rise over Kata Tjuta. I managed some of the walks and the tired legs were worthwhile. These first three were from the plane. This is Lake Ayre!


 The sunset was wonderful.


On our first day we went on the guided talk at Uluru, which was very good. We then walked around Uluru. I only made it half way (mainly because it was hot and there was a shady spot near the road.) The flies were quite a bother too. We look strange but the nets were very worthwhile.





We got up early to see the sunrise at Kata Tjuta (the Olgas). We then walked part of the Valley of the Winds walk and the Walpa Gorge.








 On our last day, it was great to see the clouds over Uluru.
