We made it to Ayer's Rock. This morning we were supposed to walk up, but it's been cancelled due to the high winds. And is it FREEZING!!! Chris's knees have seized up and I'm frozen to the bone. And yet,...by this afternoon, we'll all be thawed out and in T-shirts. And then late in the day again, back to freezing conditions. The dramatic weather conditions is something to get used to. Layers. that's what I've been told. You need to dress in layers to account for the weather changes. Okay. DONE!
We walked around the "rock'' and looked into the Aboriginal culture. The Aboriginal culture goes back nearly 40,000 years. And their stories, like most tribes, are handed down verbally through the generations. You can almost visualize the tribal women at the base gathering food. Only the men folk climbed the mountain.
Well, after the walk, we stopped in for a cuppa and a muffin. Chris and I came back afterwards to do some more "fixing" and some washing too. We'll head back there this afternoon, once the bones have thawed out and the asprin kicks in.
And as I wait for my clothes to wash, I'll go back into the sunshine and have another cup of coffee.
