...taking on the walk around Uluru, N.T. #1

It was just after 8 a.m. when our tour group was heading out to take on the big walk around the rock; Uluru that is, also known as, Ayers Rock.

Our base walk was approximately 8 km.   Location: Kata Tjuta N.P.

but first there is signage for the shorter 2 km walk ahead.  It reads in part: the physical features of Uluru are of great cultural significance to us Anangu traditional owners.  The caves and rock formations along this walk relate to the activities of the ancestral Mala (rufous hare-wallaby) people during the Tjukurpa (creation time).



it takes us down this track












I'm so looking forward to sharing more of the amazing views I saw while doing this walk, in follow-on posts.  Do come along with me won't you?  This is just the start of kicking up a little red dirt on our walkers.  Be sure you've got your water bottle packed...
