The Red Centre - Uluru

We are about to leave the Red Centre, which we thought referred to the heat but actually owes its name to the sandstone which makes up the rocks and the soil.  The red is the result of the iron content, so these are essentially rusty old rocks.
On the way in at a road station I saw some interesting shaped clouds.
The next stop was to see Mount Connor which is nicknamed Fooluru because so many think they are getting their first glimpse of what used to be called Ayers Rock.


The rock itself, Uluru, has many different moods depending on the intensity and angle of the sun.  These were taken just before sunset.


Then just before the sun goes down you get the postcard view.
