Ayers Rock in the Morning

 

Upon arriving at Ayers Rock, the expedition made a circumnavigation of the megalith on foot.

 

The ascent route to the top of Ayers Rock was closed due to high winds.  Incidentally, it is quite distressing for the local aboriginal communities for people to tromp atop their sacred rock.

 

 

 

 

 

Aboriginal rock art.

 

 

Rock heart.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Don’t take pictures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It appears to be a primitive whack-a-mole game.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Road to Ayers Rock

 

A fork in the road ahead.  To the left, the Stuart Highway and anonymity on the endless tarmac that stitches Australia together.  To the right, the chance to lose oneself into the blessed oblivion of Ayers Rock.

 

The expedition chose to go right.

 

Lest one forgets, the left side is the proper side to drive upon.

 

 

 

NOT Ayers Rock in the distance.

 

 

The real Ayers Rock.

 

 

The expedition thusly arrived at Ayers Rock.
