Kazie Oz Pictures (Part II)

Our first view of the Olgas, or Kata Tjuta. It is a collection of monoliths near Ayers Rock (Uluru).

Alongside Uluru, showing the beginning of the walking path which circumnavigates it.

The climbing trail on Uluru. the fence to hold onto doesn't start until part way up. This is so that if you can't make it that far, you know you'd better go back before it's too late.

Around the other side, where it appears to be a separate part, near some of the rock art we saw.

Pool at base of Uluru. The water used to be the purest anywhere, but people who climb the Rock have been peeing over the side and that has caused it to be so polluted that nothing can live in it now.
The first of four changing views at sunset as the light faded.



The last three (with me in it) are the others in chronological order. We were advised to take photos every 10 minutes while we ate from the buffet our guides served up. But the changes depended more on the clouds as they moved across the sky than the setting sun.
