Sunset at Uluru

On the drive into Yulara you are able to see Uluru from a distance.  There are some rolling hills and you can just get a glimpse in between.  Because of all these rolling hills you really can’t get a proper view of it unless you go to a lookout at the campsite.  The first really good view of Uluru is after you enter the national park. The road to the sunset viewing point curves around the rock so you end up with very different views.  In this shot the lines on Uluru look very vertical, don’t they? As you drive you even get a view of Kata-Tjuta, which we had visited earlier in the day. The sunset viewing area is a very, very long carpark.  It was nearly full when we got there. Look at all that red dirt!  The middle of Australia is often called the red centre, you can definitely see why.  That red dirt is very hard to get out of clothing.  And now I’m going to bore you with a whole lot of pictures… On the drive back to the campground you got a glorious view of the sunset over Kata-Tjuta. Viewing Uluru at sunset is a must-do, and so is viewing it at sunrise!  Post to come.
