Uluru up close and personal

Later this afternoon, Brad and I took a private tour to Uluru to get right up to it and learn more about its stories. Because of the spiritual nature of the site , videography and photography is not allowed in a number of places. We had a private tour, just us and a guide named Pete. It was wonderful! He was incredibly knowledgable and was able to tell us many of the stories of the Anangu who have inhabited the area for an estimated 30,000 years.

We had heard that flies could be a real nuisance in the area and were fortunate to have brought fly nets with us and found them very helpful. The flies don’t bite, but they come and buzz all around your face which is incredibly irritating. As a result, you’ll see that Brad and I have nets covering our faces in the photos (fashion crime😉).

It’s difficult to convey how special this site feels. It has a serenity about it that’s impossible to explain.En savoir plus
