Me, Ben, Joe, Nienke and Fran all got up super early today, in order to climb the big rick by our camping spot to watch the sunrise, which was well worth the bleary eyes! Drove to Mt Connor, which is a tabletop mountain that could be mistaken for Ayers Rock! Had a quick photo session there then carried onto Uluru itself. For those of you that don't know (Sean) Uluru is Ayers Rock! We had a wander round the Cultural Centre, learned about the history of Uluru...

I got told an aboriginal joke when i woke this morning....how do you catch a unique rabbit? ...you neak up on it! boom boom!
