Good evening/morning, this is our camp site at Ayers Rock. Not a bad spot for us with all facitlities at our door step. It's unbelievable how many people come and go through a caravan park in a couple of days. We hear about the grey nomads but they are pretty much cashed up and have the best of everything. Some caravans are huge with all the bells and whistles. Only thing mising is the jacuzzie.

Well back to the rock today with the purpose of walking the base. When we arrived there were about twenty people climbing the rock face. For that split second I thought yep why not climb that baby. That changed quicky when I saw people that looked a lot fitter than myself. Awhile later I changed my mind and yes I did climb the rock. See Below.

Well there I am at the top of that rock. I did say I climbed a rock. This was one that just fell off the big brother. We walked the base today and believe me it's hurting now. As we walked the Olgas yesterday and backed up with the 10.5klm base walk today I'm really sore. Anyway if you come you must do something no good looking at it and saying yep I went to Ayers Rock and did nothing. Well we didn't.

This was taken at the start of our walk around the base. As you approach this  area you think this could be a wave in the ocean. It actually has the markings and even looks like a wave,it could have been man made but obviously it's not. As you can see the size of it compared to Gabriella it's not small. Due to a heap of tourists on a walking talk around this area we had to move or get swamped by them.

Some of the sights as we walked the base of Ayers Rock. The blog site is playing up tonight so this might be it for  now. The photo below is of the artwork that they let you photograph. There are small pockets of areas around some parts of the rock that your're not permitted to photograph.

The artwork is hard to see in these areas but with a bit of work you can get at them. You have to wonder what they are about but it is interesting.

 More photos of the surrounding areas of Ayers Rock. It's stange how you can walk around and then something catches your eye. The trees in these photos stood out against the rock. Unfortunately my pictures probably didn't do them justice.

Thats it for tonight as Google doesn't want to play properly. Anyway off to Kings Canyon tomorrow and possibly a little rest before walking into the canyon. Just a quick hello to Graham and Leonie, yes we did walk the base and through the Olgas but my poor legs paid the price. See you in Bali guys. Gabby says hello.
