Me at UluruGot out to Uluru yesterday. We did a day tour, left at 6am! Started off by going to Mount Ebenezer, then past Mount Connor, then to Yulara (Ayers Rock Resort). Saw some 'Brumbies' (Wild Horses), Wedge-Tailed Eagles and a Kangaroo on the road out. Got into the national park and went to Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) first. They were pretty spectacular. Had a walk around them, then headed to Uluru. We got a few walks around the base and some of the caves and things are impressive and the rock paintings were quite good (although our guide told us a lot of them aren't very old). It is quite strange how it just rises out of nothing! We watched sunset over the Rock while we had a BBQ and it was pretty spectacular the way it changes colour at sunset.
Anyway the photos are up here.
I've also put up some Panoramas here
Been around Alice Springs today, we went to a baby Kangaroo rescue centre and held some baby Kangaroos. Planning to go to the Flying Doctor's Museum tomorrow. We're moving hostel as the one we're in at the moment (Annie's Place) isn't terrific!

Went on a walk to Kata Tjuta it was wonderful I agree. The base walk at Uluru was good too, I did the whole walk around it, starting at 5am, the temp went up to 40C that day.... rather hot! I stayed at the basic site, had a whole cabin to myself. Whilst I was there we had a spectacular thunder storm. Uluru and Kata Tjuta were the highlights of my holiday, oh and the camel ride in the desert... felt like I'd given birth after I got off! If the camels are still there you should get a ride on them.
