An early morning drive out to Uluru was beautiful at sunrise…we could also see the Olgas in the distance….

We arrived at the cultural centre where we were hiring bikes to cycle around Uluru. The guy who owned the cycle hire business was really helpful and we started out on the 15 km ride at 0800.

Ayers Rock (Uluru) was more spectacular than we expected and also much larger….there were amazing eroded areas, waterfall tracts, cracks and even a waterhole at the bottom of a crevice.

The formation known as the brain was a perfect fit for Trev and there was also areas reminiscent of vertebrae and various organs…There was a wave rock to surf…The cycle round was great exercise and we got to see the rock in detail….including some amazing rock art…People were allowed to climb that day so Trev and Andrew decided to climb the rock…Trev made it the whole way…spectacular view from the top….and he met a firie mate Brian he had worked with up there!

On the way back we stopped for another photo op..Branch got in on the act!

That night we met at Joe and Leanne’s apartment….Trev was ecstatic to see some carpet…..it had been 10 weeks….

We were going on the Field of Lights tour…..a 7 football stadia area of fibre optic lights like a field of poppies….the night was freezing, it was a full moon but the lights were beautiful…hard to capture in a photo…
