Well, it was when these photo's were taken anyways, half asleep due to a fairly paranoid night of camping. Because the tour I went on aims to give you an authentic Outback Experience, so, we spent the night in swags. Basically a sleeping bag with a slight mattress on the bottom and a flap you can pull over your head to protect you from the element. The downside is that they are very very warm with the flaps pulled over, so its a choice between being able to breathe and being eaten by beasties. . . or possible dingoes!
I joke, dingoes don't eat you!
The bugs sure as hell do though!
Anyways, on the way to our next destination, Kata Tjuta National park, (pronounced Ka-ta-choo-ta) and our walk through the Vally of the winds we had our first viewing of. . . . Uluru
But, you don't really want to see that one, and if you do you'll have to wait until the next post! So, here we are at Kata Tjuta, which means "many heads' in the traditional Aboriginal Language. Its also known as the Olgas
There are a few walks you can take around Kata Tjuta, and this time, due to the early morning start I managed the longer one, which I'm really glad about, due to the really stunning scenery. Its one of those places where, I feel I just can't do it justice with photo's, its so much more amazing than I can show you. Also, A lot of the places are sacred to the Aboriginal people, so out of respect at they're request you can't take photo's of certain area's, which are either sacred or still used in ceremony. However, here's what I ended up with.
Where you can see the black lines on the photo below, this is where waterfalls happen, in the very rare occasion that it rains enough here for this to happen.
And here, at the end of the walk is the Kalpa Lookout, its pretty amazing!
And so there you go, end of day two!
Back soon with more really big rock photo's!
Thanks for Reading
YAY! I like your adventure...:)
