bernd1151 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Many years ago my wife and I flew into Alice Springs, spent two days in the somewhat sleepy town, before we took a car and drove to Ayers Rock. In those days very few called it Uluru and I was still allowed to climb it. Starting October 2019 it will be banned to climb Uluru Kata out of respect to its traditional owners, the Anangu people I still remember well, when we drove by car through this “hole” in the mountain Lake Amadeus is a large salt lake, some 180 km long and 10 km wide Shortly thereafter Uluru comes into sight The shadow is a bit strange Now it’s on to the Olgas (Kata Tjuta or “many heads”) Thanks for viewing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Excellent images of Ayres Rock and The Olgas Berndt. I went in 1983 when there was none of the modern amenities. That gave it a real outback flavour but progress has caught up with the area. It was a great sight to get out of the tent in the morning and see the Rock staring you in the face.

Thanks a lot Martyn, I would have loved to tent out close to Ayers Rock but the missus was against it, so we had to choose an hotel instead. At least she didn't and doesn't mind RVing 5 hours ago, musterpilot said: Great set of shots spent 6 weeks at the Alice back in 1983 working John Thanks, John.
