Uluru and King's Canyon

---

We spent 3 days in the bush near Alice Springs. Our trip took us to Uluru, Kata Tjuta and King's Canyon. We slept in swags (it's like a canvas cocoon) under the stars. Fine if you are not worried about snakes, spiders, dingos and huge centipedes crawling into your sleeping bag!

Uluru
The big rock. No, we did not climb it. The aboriginal people prefer you not to climb it and we had no choice as it was closed due to the heat. If the temperature is greater than 36 degrees, they close the climb.

Wildlife
This is the second deadliest snake in Australia and our guide Andy holding it. Unfortunately there is a tyre mark across it which is why he is still holding it.

Kings Canyon
Kings Canyon is actually more interesting and impressive than Uluru. I thought so anyway. It looks like the surface of Mars.

Camels
