| Uluru on our way home |
Uluru The most Photographed rock in the world? could be, and these are taken with an iPhone, but still look spectacular!
Certainly Australia's most iconic rock, and as an icon probably only beaten by the Kangaroo and Emu on our coat of arms.
And speaks for itself, its a lot better than any camera can capture!
If you go to Uluru its important you do the Mala Walk, its free and goes for a couple of hours, the guide gives a great insight into the aboriginal culture of the place.
There is a misconception about climbing the rock that the main reason is that the local tribal elders don't want you to do it, this is true, and we should respect there rights as it is a very spiritual place to them.
But the main reason is that 35 people have died trying to climb the rock, so the coroner is trying to stop people killing them selves, that is the real reason!
And as its 450 ks from Alice Springs for a rescue chopper with a winch, might be better if fewer people did climb it.
For me the rock was a special experience, setting a goal to survive to get here was the start, 3 months downsizing, and 3 months on the trip have been a great diversion and therapy for my medical issues.

So setting new goals will be needed to survive further, I need to get on with that.
This trip is nearing an end, and it will be hard to top Uluru.
