We woke up to the sun, cozy in our swags on the ground. A quick trip to the bushes, yummy Nutella on bread and coffee in a mug, roll up the swags and we were off to see The Rock. All on board (well most) were hoping to climb it today if it wasn't closed for wind, spirits or the like.
First stop, though, The Olgas. The rocks in this region are the result of a crater in the earth being filled with this rocky conglomerate. As time has passed, they have shifted. In the Olgas' case, they shifted at a 45 degree angle, somewhat. In the case of Ayers Rock, it has shifted a complete 90 degree angle! In the photos, the ridges you see are the layers of earth, tipped!
So we hiked for the day going through these beautiful rocks. There has been record rainfall in the country this year, and the entire area was lush with growth and particularly wildflowers, which many haven't seen in perhaps 25-30 years. Good for us in the campground that morning . . .
