On our first night at Yulara/Uluru we drove into the park in the late afternoon. The day was perfect, if a little hot and would provide a great sunset viewing of the the Big Red Rock, that is called Uluru (Ayers rock in the old days).
There are numerous viewing spots and they need to be controlled because in winter the park is chockers with tourists, desperate to snap their snaps with their happy snappers. In summer when it is a bit hot, like 45 degrees, there are fewer tourists, mainly Germans and Australians.
We checked out a few spots, both legal and Illegal and decided to go for the legal viewing area. There was some rough weather forecast so we thought we had better get our snaps before the cyclone arrived and ruined the joy of all us happy snappers.
So here they are. Actually i have withheld the best as i have plans but they will be realised, oh yes, they will.
A cool fluffy topped plant we found on a walk around the back of the rock.
Corinne, in front of the rock, early sunset.
A panorama of the rock, again early sunset. double click to see it larger
The rock from another angle. The rock is actually a lot of different shapes from different angles. note the red soil, very red.
Beautiful panoramas.
