We see Uluru, also known as Ayer's Rock
It is the sacred land of the oboriginal people in Australia, also a tourist destination
The research i did before my trip revealed that there's some controversy.
Apparently, tourists are advised not to climb it but not prohibited from doing so. Argument against climbing: it's sacred, we should respect the oboriginals and it is really steep making it dangerousArgument for: they charged us $25 to enter the National Park, it a revenue earning tourist destination
Did this blogger climb?
I wanted to. Bestfriend wanted to respect the wishes of the oboriginals. Russian didnt have proper shoes. I didn't want to go up alone (dangerous) and it was so damn hot that day i got lazy...
We drove around the rock instead, inside our Toyota with the aircond on full blast. Hehe. And then we headed to The Olgas
Yeah, its just more rocks. Australia is full of rocks. We were "Rocked out" by the end of the day, didnt wanna see anymore rocks.
Mind u, we did Kings Canyon, Uluru and The Olgas in one damn day, the rest of our trip was spent getting to the destination and going back
We hiked to the middle of The Olgas, its the shortest trail we could find
Russian is sick of taking pictures, hence the face. The guy in green on the left was starring at us cuz we were noisy
Stupid glaring sun. Really killed the mood
Yeah i know how much i preach about natural sunlight being good for pictures. But this was too much! The view actually reminded me of Lord of the Rings but with the sun like that, i cant capture anything decent! Moderation is the key to everything in life eh?

Self shot on the way out of the Olgas.
Accomodation in Uluru is expensive, cutthroat as it is a tourist destination. So Russian wanted us to get as far away from the Rock as possible!
Sunset in the car (again) instead of at Uluru
Sandwiches for dinner under the stars at Ebenezer guesthouse. We called it a night pretty early that day, didnt wanna hit another kangaroo

The sacred rock up close and personal like no other taken by Sue Lin hahaha.
I'm now on world cup fever. By the time I wrote this, I finished watching Japan vs Denmark! Staying up for matches is really tiring sometimes, but fear not 'coz I finished all my exams. Are you in it too?
Hey Biopolymath! Love ur line: "sacred rock up close n personal like no other" =) Thanks
I'm not really a world cup fan, just read about it on Facebook status updates and watch a little when other people are watching. I cant seem to pay attention, my mind will drift away from the screen
