At the N.T. Border early in the morning. We are so happy and excited to finally arrive here.
Ayers Rock at Sunset. It is almost too cold to enjoy our Happy Hour drinks. Who said it was hot up here in the Territory.
The Rock at Sunrise - as you can see its still freezing. Got up in the dark for this one, but it was worth the effort.Carved our name in the ice that was on the handrails of the viewing platforms.
One of the waterholes we came across at the base of Ayers Rock.Short walk thru some beautiful scenery, and then this waterhole at the end. It was a lovely surprise and because it had rained for 4 days before we got to the rock, there was a steady stream of water coming down the rock into the waterholes.
Sunset at the Olgas, another beautiful place, but it was just as cold as Ayers Rock. Sun is shining but the nights are freezing cold. Happy Hour didnt last too long. Its a 60km drive out and back from Uluru
Great photos! new camera was a good investment!!
ReplyDeleteYou certainly are seeing the Australian icons - Ularu and the Olgas. Good to hear you didn't climb The Rock. I did and it damn near killed me. It was great that there had been some rain to fill those waterholes at the base. It really is an awesome place and you obvously felt that too.
ReplyDeleteLoved the photos. You look like you're at the snowfields in your warm weather gear. I found I had to dress in layers so you could peel off as the day got warmer. We even had icicles inside the tent!
