Ayers Rock and the Olgas are monolithic rocks right smack in the centre of Australia. They hold religious significance to the local aborigines.

On the drive to Ayers Rock, this monolithic mountain appears on the road; SGK thought it must be the rock, but I didn't think it looked quite right - (It wasn't Uluru)

"Ceremonial" cave that we were not allowed to take a close look at - but by using the telephoto on the digital camera; you can just make out some paintings inside.

On the hike in a nice Japanese student wanted to take our photo - with his camera, so we gave him ours to take another one with.
