Walk around Uluru & Helicopter Ride: Feb 21

An early 4:30am morning but completely worth it! We started off with watching the sunrise over Uluru and then headed for a walk around the base. Since this is such a sacred sight, we did not climb it but instead walked around the base. It was interesting to see the rock from all angles and read the aboriginal stories along the way. In the afternoon, I went for a helicopter ride over Uluru and Kata Tjuta. Incredible! The evening was spent at The Sounds of Silence, a fine dining experience overlooking Uluru. A great way to spend the night with friends.

All ready to begin the walk!


This tree has the ability to limit its water supply so that only a branch will die off instead of the entire tree. Very creative!
