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.
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.
