Day 224

On my birthday I woke up under the stars after sleeping outside in a swag (Australian bedroll). At sunrise we went on a hike in Kings Canyon through the so-called Amphitheater, the Lost City, the ancient Garden of Eden and the North and South Walls, wow!!

My brother met his twin Niall on the trip!

Day 223

The glorious sunrise over Uluru was a great reward for getting up early on a very cold morning! We walked around the rock and also had an Aboriginal guide with an interpretive with us. She told us the story about the Mala people and their sacred places of the rock. Out of respect for the Aboriginal people we decided not to climb the rock, unlike many other tourists! At night we went to Watarrka National Park, Kings Canyon to make fire and camp for the night.
