Day spent at ULURU!

Driving towards the rock for our first afternoon of the base walk gave way to some really great photos! I think most of this entry will be photos. Plus, Bruce is currently laying on my left arm so typing is a bit hard! He is so cute! Anyways, back to Uluru... prepare for some amazing photos!!

Beginning of Base Walk 1

Uluru is filled with culture and history that is extremely important to the Aboriginals. There are sacred Men's and Woman's Sites located all around the rock that are still actively being used today. In these particular areas it is forbidden to take photos. Our guide showed us around the rock for the 1.5 hour walk where we even saw artwork that had been painted on the walls of 'teaching areas'. This was also my first time to touch the rock and see how the wind has shaped it over the hundreds of years.

Last Sunset at the Rock, and by far, my favorite and most remarkable. This was also the night that I was able to buy two pieces of original Aboriginal artwork directly from some women. They barely spoke a word of English but loved trying to tell you what they could about their artwork. Each piece told a different story and bright colors. The group ate some yummy dips and crackers that night too!!

I LOVE ULURU!!!!! WHAT AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!!!!
