An early one today..........up at 04.30 to get the Uluru Sunrise tour. Spectacular watching the sky and cloud colour changes and the effect on the "RocK". Then we did a trip round the base, stopping at various points. Our driver guide was very knowledgeable, having been brought up in the Aboriginal tradition. The climb wasn't open because rain was forecast. But we weren't going to do it anyway, as the elders frown upon it. And when we saw what it was like, I don't think we'd have done it - looked extremely difficult! Finished up in the Cultural Centre, where you learn more about the history and customs and have the opportunity to buy tribal artefacts.
Last couple of pics are cave drawings!
Got back to the hotel about 10 and had plenty of time for a relax and swim before heading off to the Olga's this afternoon. Had a few spots of rain.......which probably turned to steam when they hit our bodies.
Won't blog again till we get back to Alice Springs tomorrow.
