Uluru

Well I decided to get out of the city, so on Monday I booked a 5 day trip to Alice Springs, Uluru, Kings Canyon and Kata Tjuta with www.therocktour.com.au.

A full update will be put on here when I have time, but just to say it was the best trip one could have taken. The scenery, the walks, the "spirituality" of all the places, the Ananga peoples' tales, the sunset over Uluru and the sunrise from the same point, were awesome, incredible and amazingly beautiful. I slept out under the stars in a swag for 2 nights, and the southern night sky is wonderful (with Orion upside down and the Southern Cross clear in the sky, although on its side. We collected wood by the roadside and cooked dinner and breakfast around a camp fire, and got up and went to bed with the rhythms of the days. Wonderful.

Back to Adelaide for a lazy day today - all that travelling and walking has really taken it out of me and the pain issues have reared their ugly heads again today. I am back on the road tomorrow, going to New Zealand (where it is currently raining :(), so will update this as and when I can.

Back soon
