This is the end of my second week of my trip to Australia and here I am, spending a
few days at Ayers Rock, or Uluru as it is called by the Aborigines, near Alice Springs.
I took the train from Adelaide because I wanted to see as much of this huge country as
possible. It was a really long journey and a bit boring to be honest as there isn’t really that
much to see – just desert and a few plants here and there! I didn’t even see any animals as
most of them only come out when it starts to get dark. I guess it’s too hot for them in the
midday sun.
I’m camping here with a group of students. We’ve got a fantastic guide who knows so
much about the history and geography of this place. It’s absolutely boiling during the
daytime but freezing at night so it really is extreme. No one can remember the last time
there was heavy rain so you can imagine how careful everyone is with water.
Tomorrow we’re hiking round Ayers Rock. It doesn’t look that big on pictures but it’s actually
almost 10 kilometres! But I’ll manage, I’m sure. The colours are amazing … reds and
oranges and purples, so I’m really looking forward to taking some good photos.
