Greetings From The Rock

I can confirm that even in Uluru the value of the ubiquitous broadband era can be felt. I however resisted the urge to upload images from the "The Rock" and am doing so from sunny Melbourne this morning.

Lyns and I are rather exhausted as we have been doing quite a lot of trecking around both Uluru and Kata Tjuta over the past few days. The shot you see here was taken around 6.00am but our day started with an early rise at 4.30am.

Uluru was formed around 700 million years ago in an inland sea and forced up to a height of 348m, in fact just like an iceberg two thirds of it are still underground. Kata Tjuta 31 miles away is slightly higher at 558m with both sites being around 500m above sea level.

We learnt about the Anangu and some of the ancient stories of Uluru. Having spent two days here you can udesrtand why so many people visit. I hope you enjoy some of the images I have uploaded to Flickr as well.

Now I have been spiritually clensed I'm off shopping because everything I brought with me is covered in red dust..

Jonny and Lyns
