oh and I don't think I mentioned this is the post before, but Ayers Rock and the Olgas are the European names given to these Aboriginal sites (just in case you were confused by the two sets of names) and after going and seeing them in person, I kind of feel weird using the European names... Aboriginal culture is just so wonderful.
still too dark...I'm so excited for sunrise!
love that I could get the moon in this shot.
the lighting is pretty awesome!
Kata Tjuta in the distance
yay! the sun has risen!
Now, the tour around the base of Uluru with wonderful Aboriginal and European history lessons.
the Smile Cave, where people were sent to solve disputes and couldn't leave until they had smiles on their faces (haha kind of corny, but cute)
cave art used in storytelling
the Wave Cave
inside one of the caves... it was such a lovely day outside!
big foot print looking shape in the rock
Uluru is actually blue but rust has made it red! Pretty crazy to think about on this massive of a scale.
eating my Outback Burger in the Outback. haha :)
our hotel - The Lost Camel's reception desk
the entirety of the Ayers Rock Airport

Goodbye Uluru, it was nice seeing you!
