    Uluru from the sky

    January 30, 2024 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 38 °C

    We took a walk over to the Town Square this morning to poke around the shops and happened by a counter selling helicopter rides. We couldn’t resist. 🤣 So that’s what we did this morning - we took a ride around Uluru. Helicopters can’t fly over it because of it’s sacred and there’s an aboriginal village nearby.

    This afternoon, we visited a camel farm and an art gallery which displays aboriginal art.
    Camels date back to the 1840s here in Australia. They were instrumental in transporting provisions to the mining operations in the outback as well as facilitating the construction of the railway. That railway is now known as The Ghan, giving a nod to the Afghan people who cared for the camels.
