John's Around the World Adventure 2005/2006
Australia: The Outback- Central Australia's Red Centre
Next was our pilgrimage half way across Oz, into the outback, of which the Red Centre is only a small part. We chose this region simply for one reason and one reason only; Ayres Rock. This rather large and unexplainable imposing red rock is undoubtedly the best I have ever seen, in the middle of nowhere, towering over 300 meters into the sky! We completed a 3 hour base walk and visited the aboriginal cultural centre nearby, before posing for the necessary must-have sunset shots! Whilst in the region, we also visited an equally imposing sight, the Olgas Rock formation
