Roadtrip Tag 70/71 - Uluru & Kata Tjuta

After a relaxed morning at the camp, we drove 70km to Kata Tjuta (Olgas). These rocks are also very sacred to the indigenous people, and the history/meaning has not yet been revealed to any 'white person' to this day. We only looked at these powerful stones from the air-conditioned car. There, our Maxi reached 491,000 km, we are proud that she keeps going. On the way back, we stopped at a lookout platform. We had a fantastic 360-degree view of Kata Tjuta and Uluru. My flip-flop felt the heat here. I stood on the asphalt parking lot for 2 minutes and my flip-flop started to melt. In the evening, we enjoyed a beautiful sunset at Uluru (Ayers Rock). We drank our beloved Pauls Ice Coffee, which is only available for purchase here in the Northern Territory.

The next morning, we were ready for a guided tour with the ranger at Uluru at 8 o'clock. In 2 hours and 2km at the base of Uluru, he explained the meaning, culture, and some typical things (food, etc.) of the indigenous people. It was very interesting and it is very sad that this culture has been lost over the years and development. Only 1/3 of Uluru is visible, the remaining 2/3 are underground. We spent the afternoon at the pool. In the evening, we were visited by a brown snake at our tent. By the time the snake catcher arrived, we had lost sight of the snake in the bushes/between the trees. The snake catcher searched the entire area, unfortunately without success. The brown snake is deadly and is one of the top 10 most venomous snakes in the world. At least you have up to 6 hours after being bitten. Fortunately, nothing happened to us.
