At 4.30am we left camp and headed
towards Devil's
Marbles for sunrise. These are huge balls of stone that are piled
one above the other and look as as though they are about to fall down
any minute. They are formed naturally by weathering and are suppose
to be the eggs of the Rainbow Serpent according to Aboriginal
Culture. The Rainbow Serpent was the one who made the land and
the mountains.

We travelled on to Alice Spings
stopping at the Tropic
of Capricorn on the way and reached Yulara, which is the resort
for Ayers Rock, the next day. As we drove up to Ayers Rock we watched
the colours change into the most magnificent reds - it was incredibly
beautiful.
