The last 3 days have been absolutely amazing with loads to take in. Our trip started early Thursday morning when we took the train to Sydney to catch our flight to Ayers Rock, NT. Since then, we've been on the go. We've seen Ayers Rock (Uluru) in sunset and sunrise, both breathtakingly beautiful, gone on a guided hike along the base of the rock to learn more about the Aboriginal culture (the Anangu and Mala people) and hiking in and around Kata Tjuta, another ancient rock formation in the area. The landscape here is so different to what I'm used to from back home. Some parts look a little bit like the Canadian prairie (apart from the red soil), so Wyatt might feel a little bit more like home!
We've just arrived in Alice Springs after a long drive through the outback, and are getting ready to explore this little town. We've taken tons of pictures, it's hard to pick only a few, but here are some.
