Been living in the outback with my friends, the flies, buzzing around me. It is really desolate country here. Very harsh climate and land...I do not know why someone would want to choose to live here. Very hot during the day with temps close to 100 degrees...but no humidity.
Checked into the Outback Pioneer Hotel along with my friends, the spiders!! Get me out of this place!!! It is sort of a captive audience..in fact, it is the only hotel for anyone wanted to stay in Ayers Rock. We did some hiking around the rock. I guess the big deal about the rock they now call Uluru is the aboriginal art that is on the rock along with all the folklore of how the rock was formed.
Went to the rock at sunset where it is constantly changing various shades of pinks, purples and reds. They say it is a spiritual experience...and it was if you get my drift.
Packed up today after another couple of morning hikes at the Olgas which are a huge conglomerate range of hills near Uluru. Then got my traveling wings on and flew to Cairns, the home of the Great Barrier Reef. Tomorrow we will head out for the day to see the reef and snorkel. The reef is still 24 miles on the water from here so it will take us about two hours to get there. They say the sea is rough as there was a cyclone near here recently...and I forgot the dramamine at home. Wish me luck.
Take care and stay safe and healthy until next time.
Love,
Gloria
