Uluru
Tuesday 30 September 2014
There are some things in life that truly take your breath away and Uluru is one of them. I left it until mid afternoon before I ventured out to see this unique monolith. You start to catch glimpses of it about 30 km before you get to Ayres Rock Resort, but its not until you enter the National Park that you get the full impact of it. It is huge. I dont think there is anything else quite like it in the world. It makes you want to fall to your knees in ceremony. It is quite the most spiritual thing I have ever seen. It seems to have a power about it that radiates out into the landscape around it.
It is considered a deeply spiritual place by the Aboriginal people and I can completely understand why. There is a Cultural Centre in the National Park that says something along the lines of White fellas come and take their pictures and want to climb Uluru, but if they just sat in its presence for a while they would experience so much more. After I read that I stopped taking pictures and did just that. What a truly humbling place it is.
