Uluru (Ayers Rock)

What a landscape! And what a night last night, a massive thunderstorm, it lasted for hours and hours. There was very little sleep for the adults, the kids seemed to sleep through it despite the tents lighting up with each strike and the rumbling that followed!  Yesterday was overcast so the light on the rock was different to today where it is bright and glowing red.  We are heading back out there for the sunset tonight.

You have to stay at the Uluru Resort camping ground at Yulara and then get 3-day passes to enter the National Park during the day.  Leon and John biked out there today and then biked around the base of Uluru, a big ride in this heat!  Enzo and I went picked them up so they didn't have to bike back to Yulara in the heat of the day. The views from the base of the rock are amazing and it is so peaceful. There are caves, gorges, bush areas, scattered boulders, pitted surfaces, its just surreal!
