6:40 am The Chill was still in the air and the Pre-Dawn Colour had already begun to fade but we pressed on to the Viewing Area to watch as the rising Sun painted Uluru in glorious Morning Colour.
The colour on the Rock was one thing but the way the Rising Sun illuminated everything else was spectacular.
Beautiful as it is we have to get going..
Our first stop is Walpa Gorge on one side is the towering Mt Olga at 546 meters is considerably taller than Uluru.
Our short, rocky and very windy walk took us deep into the cut between 2 of the domes passing a small creek bed and ending in thickets of Spearwood.
Many of these sites are Culturally Sacred to the local Anagu people and have restrictions on what you can photograph.
Our Base Tour of Uluru in the afternoon was punctuated with our Guides saying "No Photos from here on" and "Anything past this point is OK".
Culturally sensitive sites are clearly marked and there is plenty of advice online as to how to get awesome shots and still be respectful.
Which is why you often see Photos of Uluru with a well placed tree that is blocking some of the view!
And up close it is Stunning.
It truly is the Heart of Australia.
(I do not edit my Photographs so the colours are as taken.)
Our time at Uluru (Ayers Rock) is coming to an end but not before one last Night time event.
