Hike Around Uluru

View from base of Uluru.
Cave drawings at base of Uluru - hundreds of years old.
View from crevice at base of Uluru.
This is where you climb Uluru - if you click on the pic to enlarge, you can see the chain they have going up the steepest part. I've done the climb twice before, but now the land has been returned to the Aboriginal people. They won't tell you you cannot climb, but they make it clear they would prefer you did not, as it's a sacred place for them. None of the four of us made the climb.
View of Uluru in the afternoon.
View of Uluru at Sunset.
Tour groups line up all along this fence to view Uluru at sunset. The group next to us had tables set up with champagne and cheese and crackers. We drank beers instead.
This cracks me up - its looks like one of the postcards you would make in a machine at the mall.


This was our tour group.
The rock changes colors as the sun sets.
