Uluru and Kata Tjuta

For our second full day, we did not get up for the sunrise viewing with the hordes again, but we did take the 6.5 mile walk around the base of Uluru. It was a flat, easy walk, with changing views of the rock as we circled Uluru. It took us past the spot where tourists have been drawn to climb Uluru since the 1940s. This is something the Aboriginal people discourage, as it is the route their ancestors followed as part of their creation story. Still, a great number of people make the climb daily.

We’re heading out with our camping tour in the Outback for the next 5 days, and have run out of time to post more descriptions of our photos. We’ll catch you up later!Read more
