The magician of Central Australia

ULURU (Ayers Rock) & Kings Canyon

When landing in Alice Springs, the nearest town to the Red Desert, the first thing that you would probably notice is the hot temperature and of course the different landscape… really feeling to be in a desert area!

I took a 3 days trip from Alice Spring to Uluru and return, and I’ve had the great opportunity to get into a very nice group with people from all over the World and of course with the best guides ever!

We left Alice Spring at 6am as the hot sun rises very early and you have to be prepared to the hot temperature along the 6h bus trip to Ayers Rock. What I liked most has been the “easy going” life and the great feeling among the group.

The sunset at Uluru has been absolutely amazing, the red of the sky mixed with the red of the rocks and surrounded by the blue of the sky getting darker and darker until the fool moon and the millions of start have come through.

The early wake up when the night is still on have been an amazing occasion to see the sun rise from behind the land… and to have the chance to hike among the Kings Canyon or walk around the ancient rocks of Uluru watching the painting of the Aborigens before getting back to the camp site with a tremendous hot sun!

We slept outside all together in a circle just close to the bone fire, listening to the animals and watching out the dingo coming over for some food… and the kangaroos jumping around in the bush and under a cover of stars all over!

Chill out with some beers in the outside camping place and trying the tail of a kangaroo (yack!!!) have completed the adventure… another experience that I will never forget!

Thanks Uluru and all the fantastic people that I've met there!
