Allthego has been experiencing blog hassles. It seems software issues have mucked things up and he has had to resort to the Ap to post. We are a couple of days behind.

We were last here at the Rock back in 2017 and there doesn’t seem to have been much change in the shape of the Rock since then. I suppose this is not surprising.

The next morning we faced an early 5 am start to do the Field of Light and Rock sunrise experience. In the early morning it is quite chilly, not far off zero. The sun rises circa 7.30am and we have 45 minutes or so wandering through the lights before heading back to the top of the sand dune to watch the sun rise and light up Uluru.

There are some 50,000 solar powered ball shaped like lights installed in a depression behind sands dunes. Down among the lights Uluru is obscured but up on the sand dune there is a great view across the plain.

Away behind us Kata Tjuta also catches the sun’s early rays. It is a quite an amazing sight!

The coach gets us back to the village for a well earned breakfast around 8 am, providing fuel for the days activities. The next post will cover off on these.

By the way Palya, ‘Phal-yah’, means ‘Hello, Goodbye, Thank you, Welcome.’ If you think about it, it is a big word! Quite suscinct.
