ULURU

This is Mount Connor.  It’s often called Fool-uru because people are often fooled into believing that it’s Uluru from a distance.  Oops!!!

This is Uluru at sunset.  Look at the deep red/orange as the sun hits the rock.  It’s breathtaking.

A view of Uluru from the plane as we departed.  Not the best quality, but you can truly see its size.

And now, the camels.  Wild camels are all over the outback.  They were brought in decades ago b/c they needed very little water and could do hard labor.  They have since thrived.  You can even go on camel rides.  I passed on that one. 

And lastly…something that really surprised me.  Take a look at this sea of white in the pic below.  This was once a river and now it’s dried up.  All of that white that you see is SALT!  Yes, it’s a salt lake.  Australia has many of them.  They’re very impressive to see.
