The only way to truly experience Uluru is to visit it. So save your money and do it.
I can’t take a picture that really shows its magnificence.
After a visit to the Cultural Centre we embark on two
base tours of Ayers Rock. Uluru holds
deep Aboriginal significance and we hear many stories as we wander its base and
view numerous Aboriginal paintings.
The first hike is the Mala walk through painted caves
and hunting grounds of the Mala people and the stories of their traditional law.
Some areas of the rock are clearly marked as sacred. We can’t take pictures and no entry. That’s why you have to come here to see for
yourself!
We hiked to the waterhole of Mututjulu with more ancient
cave paintings and aboriginal legends. At
this permanent waterhole we hear of the clash
between ancestral snakes.
The visit to
the Kantju Gorge at Uluru was stunning!!Then…..Who would have guessed that it would be overcast and raining at sunset???? We didn’t get to see the changing colours of this huge rock, but it was an experience of a lifetime nonetheless. Our guides still entertain us with eerie tales and a big bonus!! Out of the baggage compartments of the bus - tables, seats, hors oeuvres and champagne. What a way to celebrate sunset – Boulder and Bubbly!!
The pictures speak volumes but more can be told...
Heart of stone!!
Finish the evening with an Aussie BBQ, but no camel burgers or kangaroo sausages for me...thank you very much!!
