Uluru and Kata Tjuta

Uluru and Kata Tjuta were surprisingly enormous and enjoyable, despite the almost military security and organisation, to keep the 340k tourists per year under control. Sunrise and sunset get well promoted and it’s not obvious why so few tourists actually walk around both rocks. 

We couldn't believe our luck - a full moon rising over Uluru - perfect timing!

 

The valley of the winds walk amongst Kata Tjuta was windy and allowed us to get fairly close to the rocks, although it did include quite a lot of walking around the rock rather than actually ‘in’ amongst the ‘heads’ of the rock.

 Called the "upside down" plant because the flowers are at the bottom of the plant!
