In the last post you saw a picture of me in front of some wall drawings that are thousands of years old. This wall was used like a chalkboard by the Aboriginal people to teach the boys how to recognize tracks and other important information. They used rocks for chairs. They would draw right over the last lesson and so there are many layers of pictures on the wall. The flies were so terrible at Uluru that it was really hard to concentrate on what the ranger was telling us. The ranger was not wearing a net, but he didn't seem that bothered by the flies. Everyone else was.
From the resort, if you stand on a sand dune, you can see Uluru on one side about 15 km away and Ktata Jtuta on the other side about 25 km away. They are really beautiful and amazing to see. Up close they have really interesting rock formations and there are Aboriginal stories that go with everything. Here are a few more pictures of Uluru and Ktata Jtuta.
