Monday 17th March 2008 - Ayers Rock







Wasting no time we headed from Alice Springs straight to Ayers Rock. We stayed in the area for a couple of days so we could watch the sunset, sunrise and walk around the rock. Unfortunately we couldn't climb the rock because the temperature was above 36 degrees! Not that I wanted to as you know I'm scared of heights, but Steve did. Apparently the Rock and surrounding area is still a very sacred site to the Aborigines and there was areas around the rock you could not photograph. They also do not like people climbing the rock, especially as so many tourist have fallen to their death. However, the rock was awesome, especially watching the sunset whilst drinking champagne!
