We are here at the base of Uluru awaiting a beautiful sunset. Did you know that the National Park is recognised by UNESCO as a world heritage area for both natural and cultural values?
And many of us have set up spectacular viewing positions such as Peter, Leah, Amy, Irma and Rob who have prize positions on top of ther cars. Tim has left me here and taken Paul back to support Lee giving me time to blog about this in peace.
What a natural beauty we have in our own backyard. The rock formations and sand planes offer such a wide range of beauty. I am planning on taking a photo every 15 minutes. At 6pm this is what it looked like.
The park is a living cultural landscape and is quite unique as it has been an ancient land enjoyed by the Anangu people who have shared the traditional practices and knowledge and its area still holds powerful religious and cultural connections today.
The park is managed by Anangu and Parks Australia mixing traditional and western science to preserve the park. This is the rock at 6:15pm.
This is the rock at 6:30pm
As I am ever the romantic my dream of having a picnic complete with chairs, crackers, cheeses and dips followed by champagne has been blown away to pieces with a group this size it will be challenging to be together just the two of us. Tim did ask me to take a photo of the ute infront of Uluru - thanks to Robyn who took one of me and another of Tim so I can have one image of us from her iPhone.
And at 6:45pm this was what I saw...
What was your experience when you saw the sunset here in Uluru?
