We did not climb Uluru

Spinifex grass; Triodia irritans. In 1985, traditional Anangu burning practices, discouraged since European colonisation, were reintroduced because scientists recognised that they were essential for maintaining the desert ecosystem

but we had a great time walking around it.

A great shot. The light is perfectly awesome. How big is Uluru? Did you walk completely around it? It seems gigantic in the picture.

thanks all!
It's about a 10 km walk round around it - yes, we did the whole thing and then some - probably 12-13 km total. Of course femme_makita did another final walk while CQW and I napped in the car.

This was the perfect weather to be in this part of Australia - warm in the days but not hot, not a lot of flies, etc.

Uluru itself is a little over 1000 ft high (348 meters).

Isn't it great! This was our first evening there, rushing to take a sunset photo from the 'sunset photo place'.

It's 1000 ft high which is >60 storeys, I guess. When you fall off the top, you are quite a bit dead.

Thanks for the memory.....I climbed to the top of the rock back in the late '60's, well before the aboriginals reclaimed their land and the sacredness of this "monolith". Somehow I think it's shrunk a bit since then.
