Day 20: Uluru

Today was our first full day in the Uluru & Kata Tjuka National Park. Our first stop was the Ranger guided Mala walk around part of the base of Uluru. We learned about the rock art "classroom black board", the geology of the area, and about some of the medicinal plants.

After lunch we headed to the Uluru visitor centre to rent bikes and ride the 10km around the rock. This was a lot of fun even if it was rather warm doing it in the late afternoon.

To finish off the day we headed out to the Field of Lights for the night time viewing (around 8pm). It was pretty cool to see all the lights spreading out in front of us when we first arrived. But as we walked through the display we all thought that it would have been even more interesting if there was more movement within the lights. Its only going to be here for another 2 years so glad we got to see it while it was here.
