The Rock

It has to be said that Uluru and the surrounding sights were really impressive. For a big rock, it's pretty cool. We watched sunrise and sunset at the rock and spent a morning walking around it on a 9Km track. We were given the option of walking up to the top even though the local Aboriginals class the rock as sacred and ask you not to. In the end Gez was the only one of us who went up but said it was really worth it.

We also went to Kings Canyon and Kata Tjuta which were cracking. The last few days on this tour saw us doing more exercise that I think we'd done on our whole trip so far which was a welcome change.
