Blue Mountains National Park,
Three Sisters |
|
Sunset at Ayers Rock/Uluru. Uluru
is the new/old aboriginal name |
|
Sunset a couple of minutes later |
|
Wind erosion at Uluru. Wind has
created many caves which are used by the aboriginies for the religious
ceremonies. Many are not accessible for tourists. |
|
One of the flanks of Uluru where
the water gathers after a rainstorm. After a heavy rainstorm Uluru is
actually grey because the red colour comes only from the rust which is
washed away during rainfall. |

Climbing to the top of Uluru |
|
On top of Uluru with my brother.
In the background are the Olgas/Kata Tjuta |
|
The Olgas/Kata Tjuta which are
even holier for the Aboriginies than Uluru |
|
Valley in the center of Kata
Tjuta, not accessible for tourists |
|
Sunset at Kata Tjuta. After
sunset we had a Barbie (Australian for Barbecue) in the desert and could
admire the most spectacular night sky with the clearly visible Milky Way. |
|
King's Canyon located at a three
hours drive from Uluru. Absolutely worth the trip. |
|
The parliament in Canberra, the
capital of Australia. The roof of the parliament house is grassy and can
be walked on in order to ensure that the people of Australian are above
the politicians. |
