Fantastic, Uluru is not to be missed!

I had low expectations of my visit to Uluru, after all, it is one of the most common images of Australia, and we've all seen it on every guide, programme or brochure about Australia...so much so I felt I knew it well before I arrived!

Well, to say I was blown away is a bit of an understatement, I was spiritually moved... by the sheer size and majesty of it. The setting was so surprising too. I expected barren land, and was non plussed by all the green scrubland, and lack of red centre imagery. (Nov / December visit).

Lots of other people being around didn't worry me at all... as I said it was for me a spiritual awakening, and it felt good to have other people recognising and "worshipping" at the same time!

There were so many surprises on our walks around the base, caverns, pools, wind whipped rock crevices. Amazing. The visitors centre was well thought out, presented and well worth visiting. We drove with a camper trailer, and found the camping facilities great.
