This morning we got up really, really, really, EARLY AGAIN, this time to see the sunrise at Uluru. Sunrise was at 7:23 am and we got there just in time to see the sun brightening up the sky. The sky was full of clouds and they looked red underneath. It was really cool.

After the sunrise, we went to the Cultural Centre and learned about the Aboriginal People who live in the area. Uluru is a sacred and important part of their life. Some people come here to climb on Uluru but the Aboriginal People very politely ask that they don’t out of respect for what it means to them and their way of life. After we left the Cultural Centre we drove around Uluru one more time and we saw people climbing. It made me sad.

After that we packed up and headed onto the highway to Alice Springs. Along the way through the Outback we saw these things called “Road Trains.” Road Trains are big trucks pulling two or three really long trailers. It’s like nothing I have ever seen at home.

We arrived in Alice Springs and got settled and went out to explore for a bit. It’s been a long day and I am tired.
