Friday 6th June

This morning we got up early so we could go to Ayres Rock (Uluru). It was not windy which is good as they close the rock if it is too windy or about to rain.

We all climbed the rock, Jesse and Emily did a great job. Actually we were struggling to keep up. The aborigines don’t like you climbing it anymore, but we were not coming all this way just to look at it. When you start climbing it there is a chain that you follow as it is very steep. After the chain finishes you still have a long way to go. It took us over one hour to climb up to the top.

In the afternoon we went to the Olgas (Kata Tjuta). We did the Valley of the Winds walk. It was a 7.4km walk and was a really nice walk By the time we finished, we were all exhausted considering we had walked Ayres Rock in the morning.
