Saturday 31 August: Uluru Sunrise And Kata Tjuta Walk
A memorable day for Jeffrey. Lots of photos were taken, but we'll only put up a few (phew!) Aboriginal people have lived in the area around Uluru and Kata Tjuta for at least 30,000 years.Anangu Culture has always existed here. The Central Australian landscape (of which Uluru and Kata Tjuta are an important part) is believed to have been created at the beginning of time by Ancestral Beings.Uluru and Kata Tjuta provide physical evidence of feats performed during the creation period. Anangu are the direct descendants of these beings and are responsible for the protection and appropriate management of these ancestral lands. (see https://parksaustralia.gov.au/uluru/discover/history/ ) The morning commenced with a 5.30am bus pickup from the campground and the resort hotels and then to the viewing platforms. Although not conducive to a contemplative mood at sunrise, the platforms have stopped chaotic parking along the road and the random scuttling of tourists keen to get a good shot. W
