10/01/2007: "JOHN HARDING ...... at Ayres Rock"

Ayres Rock (Uluru) is a worthwhile visit for any diver. Arriving from the west can be a memorable drive when returning from Perth to the Queensland coast via the Great Central Road. This 4x4 road passes through aboriginal reserves in two states which require permits arranged in advance. The road does not pass through actual settlements.

For a marine photographer-diver, getting away from the coast is a real holiday. Experiencing the Australian outback with all the red sand and blue sky is an amazing treat, for a short visit. It makes an appreciation of those cobalt blue waters of The Coral Sea even better.

On my first visit, with a Nikonos camera, I made underwater photo’s in a rain water rock pool on Uluru – tiny fish were seen. Quite amazing.
