Photos from Uluru - 5 August

Uluru (Ayres Rock) at dawn

Climb closed at 8am

Uluru - Kapi Mutitijulu area

Uluru - Kapi Mutitijulu waterhole

Uluru - Kapi Mutitijulu waterhole (wearing all clothers we had handy - chilly at this time of the morning!)

Uluru - Mala Walk - this is where an enraged  giant Eagle is said to have crashed its foot into the rock

Picnic spot by start of climb - will it / won't it open at 12 noon?

Clim open. taking a breather on the way to the top. Picture does not convey steepness! (only Hopkinsons ventured this far at this point of the day!)

At the top - view behind 30km of flat floodplain then The Olgas

View over the other side -more flat, flat land

The weather eroded undulating top of Uluru

E, J & K at the trig point (Olgas in background). Now wishing we had shorts on!

Joseph at top

Well earned water break

The steep descent - some parts best done backwards holding onto the chain for dear life!

Last view of Uluru on departure

Answers on a postcard: How many camels in this picture?
