Solid as a Rock! ULURU!!!
We were able to sneak away for a long weekend to Uluru (Ayer's Rock) in central Australia (Northern Territory) thanks to Sister Barbara's kindness. And what a weekend we had! Uluru is the second largest monolith (a single gigantic rock) in the world (Mt. Augustus in Western Aus is the largest).
Adam anxiously awaiting our Qantas flight - 3.5 hours to Uluru!
Our first site of the huge monolith out the plane window!
Unbelievably mammoth - 9 km around!
This is Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) which were equally fascinating! (more in my next blog entry)
Finally we're here!
Our first upclose view.
The many shades of Uluru!
These pictures of Uluru were all taken within a 20 minute period at sunset.
Adam could hardly contain himself - he couldn't wait to climb Uluru and as expected he led the pack!
What a view! It took about an hour to get to the top - not for the weak-hearted.
The base of Uluru is equally amazing - caves, holes, eroded walls and ancient aboriginal art.
Next blog entry - The Olgas!
