24/12/2004: "Ayres Rock Central Australia .........a real seachange."

The long trip to Uluru is worth the effort. Nearby The Olga's is even more spiritual and spectacular.

A true change from the coast, different tree's, dry air. Clear nights with a star-filled sky. Try sleeping in a small tent to enjoy the differences.

I was amazed to see tiny fish in fresh water rain pools near the top of 'the rock', how they get there would be an interesting story I've yet to see in print.

In 1984 with a 35mm Nikonos camera I exposed a single frame in one of these (then but not always) muddy pools near the summit. The first underwater photo taken at Ayres Rock?
