Urulu and Ayers Rock

Urulu, together with the Sydney's Opera, are probably the most known Australia's symbols Urulu is an enigmatic monolitic which changes its color depending on the suns location. It's brown on the midday hours and almost orange in the dawn and dusk, with red and purple colors. This hill is 350 meters high and its a secret place of the aborigens, the anangu.


   


 Acording to them, Urulu tells the story about two snakes who created the earth. We arrived Sydney and, inmediatly, we took a new flight aiming to Ayers Rock airport. We landed about 6 AM, surprisingly punctual... Quantas is a good company, not like British Airways. So we took next flight about 7.30.
The flight took about 3 hours, over the Outback. If you can, choose the seats on the left side on the plane. There, you'll have the best views of the Urulu. Better than any other trekking. You'll also be able to see the "Olgas". It was one of the most astonishing moments of the whole trip. In that moment, we finally understood that we were in Australia. Down under

 Ayer's Rock airport is like a toy, those you can only see on the movies. It gets just two flights per day, on one only lane. There are free buses to the resorts, some minutes away. That area is well integrated into the landscape. There are many kinds of accomodations, from hostels to luxury hotels. We stayed on the YHA hostel, in a 4 people room, but just occupied by us and a japanese girl.
