U is for…

Uluru.

Wow. She is such a beauty and she has so many faces that every corner you turn, you're struck anew with how amazing she is.

Beautiful.






Yesterday afternoon we arrived at Uluru National Park. It's very well done. Not too many facilities, but just enough to make a day there enjoyable. They have a few toilet blocks scattered around the park, several stations of delicious drinking water, and small gems of information about the area you're in, telling Indigenous Stories and explaining the locations. But overall, the place is quite untouched. All they've done is define paths around the place so we don't accidentally do the dirty and walk across an ancient sacred site. It's all very natural.

We walked 3.5 hours around the base of her, finding some sneaky pools and gorgeous birds that sang like I've never heard before.





We were the last 2 people to do the walk and we finished at sunset and it was glorious.



Then we drove on out and camped just outside the national park on the side of the road :)
