Sunrise at Ayers Rock

 

The expedition rose early in order to witness sunrise at Ayers Rock.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other expeditions also recorded the event.

Ayers Rock in the Evening

 

The expedition returned to Ayers Rock in time to watch the sun sink low over the Red Centre.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Many people waited for the sun to set but were mildly disappointed when the sky became covered in clouds, blotting out the sinking sun.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Olgas

 

The Olgas, an interesting rock formation consisting of many domes, was the next target of the expedition.

A group of wandering Germans was encountered.

 

 

 

 

People are dwarfed by the sheer size of the rock domes.

 

 

 

 

Staring out into forever.  The next bit of civilization is many hundreds of kilometres away.
