This is a famous Nation Park which "NEXT" to Uluru , 
I said "Next " is according Australia BIG map, but actually, it is still 250 KM driving 
it`s a beautiful gorge with a nice walking track (6,4 km) around the gorge, the gorge wall straight down 300 M, 
really fun, but next day, our legs both feel so tried :(
(Ps. mark just bought his hat in Alice Spring market one day ago, he wants this kind hat for long time, now we almost finish our summer Australia, He finally found one he really like)



this is the famous Uluru
It's very cold in the early morning~~
thanks for the time zone, so we don't have to wake up really early to see the sunrise on Uluru
It was 7:30 am, we are surrouned by a lot of people all wear big jackets and hold on a cap of hot tea and big camera to wait for the sunrise





here we are on the way to the top of the Uluru
It is not too easy, really steep rockpath to the top, wind , and lots of up and downs. some parts without the rope is just impossible to get on
and when we were climbing, we thought the top that you can see on the picture now is the end of climbing
But actually that's even not 1/3 of the whole way :S
very cold and windy, but I have to said, This is really fun



This is on the top of Uluru, feel so good that finally finish the whole way (going down still far :P)
every one climb so far , just for see this thing, but the view on the way is really really nice
on our back is "The Olga's" we been there the day before, also take a trekking for 7.4 KM loop(the vally of the wind, and
there was a lot of wind there)
and today climb on Uluru and back are another3.6 Km
I really feel whole my life didn't walk so much in just few days :P my legs will kill me next day



This is on the back from the top of Uluru

OK~ by the aborignal people who live in Australia, they don't really like tourists climb on Uluru
1. because it's dangerous, 2. because Uluru is there holy rock
so they all suggest tourist to not climb on Uluru (but actually that is the top fun part of people who join the tour,so still a lot , so a lot of people who climb it)
funny thing is we read some mail people who climb on Uluru and take some park of rock back home.
they send the mail back and ask Uluru visit center to put the rock back , because he got 7 year bad luck that the rock brings to him
he can't stand any more ....... a lot of this kind of bad luck story~~~

for us also, the night after climbing Uluru, and see the beautiful sunset of Uluru
we decide to drive at dark out of Uluru resort (stay inside is so expensive, so we want to drive to free camp that 100KM out of national park)
then @$#%#^$%&  

WE HIT A COW~~~~
(Shouldn't drive at night :( :(   )

Lucky Mark act really fast, so we didn`t hit him full. 
We only hit  his head, and his body hit the side door of our van
WE are both fine, 
just the car look a little bit .......

this story tell us, don't drive at night, even we got 4 big extra lights. 

but with a jack and some bush mechanic skills, we are able to push the bodywork back a little bit so it looks a bit better now. 

but still lucky and you will be surprised, a cow is a bing animal, but you don`t see them comming even if you drive slowly. 

but we are still fine and it`s another great story in our trip. 

apple & mark
and cow :S
