Uluru Walk #4

...are you still keeping up with us? We've come this far, we might be able to pull over in a bit and have a drink and piece of fruit I think, shortly.



Mulla-Mulla

amazing textures on this side of the rock

and as someone pointed out, this natural etching was quite reminiscent of an indigenous male portraiture

pretty in pink; it looks like a little everlasting daisy, or strawflower/paper daisy








So at a closer glance, it has been quite amazing, the changes, as our group walked around the base of Uluru last month.  I know it was a lot of red dirt to kick up as we trekked 8 kms or so, but it was pretty worthwhile don't you think?  

Now we can go meet up with the coach -- aaah, that means I can ditch the camera and hat for a bit and take the weight off my feet.  We're heading on over to the Cultural Centre for lunch. 

I chose the ...  think it was called Outback Beef Steak Pie - which happened to be quite unique!!  It was shaped like a big sausage roll - and it tasted so good.  Was a neat way to eat a pie too in that shape, it didn't want to ooze all over your hand; much easier to eat that way.  More pies should be shaped like sausage rolls I reckon.

Since I had to wait so long in the queue to get the pie in the first place, then wait for my number to be called to pick up my coffee --- all I could think of was to eat/drink (and be merry), and forgot all about taking a photo of this pie.  At least I could have shared it with you.

Wonderful textures in the rock formations Carole and such a joy to see those pretty floral treasures nestled in at the base. Your Out-back beef pie with coffee sounds Yum !

Your walk around Uluru was definitely worthwhile! I wish we had the opportunity. It was just so hot when we were there. Thanks for your photos! I especially loved the ones of the texture on the rock. The flowers were beautiful too, in that desert climate! An amazing place! hugs, Laura
