Uluru and Kata Tjuta

Uluru is in the middle of the country. It is a big rock. It has great spiritual meaning for the Aboriginal people -- but now it appeared to us to be more of a tourist site than anything else. Remember "Dingo ate my baby!"? This is where it happened.

We stayed in a "tent"
With a view of the rock from our window.

There were tons of flies


Here is a view of Uluru at sunset; we were too lazy to get up for a sunrise view.

This is a picture of Kata Tjuta -- another series of rocks in the outback.

Unfortunately, the weather was too overcast for a night under the stars, but one evening, we did get a look, and the galaxy was brilliant.

After a day and a half, we moved onto the rainforest.
