Now in the Northern Territory

MT CONNER Yesterday we crossed the border so now in the Northern Territory, haven't encountered any warmth yet. Today we travelled the Lasseter Highway to Ayers Rock with the main rock now known as Uluru. Mt Conner is the first mass that you come across and rises 350 metres above the desert, commonly mistaken for Uluru as you can imagine.
ULURU Our first view of the great rock, it sure is spectacular. It has clouded over this afternoon so fingers crossed that the weather clears in the next couple of days so that we can do some of the great walks. Couldn't get over the pink colour without the full sun so must look fabulous at sunrise and sunset which we hope to experience. It is 3.6 km's long and rises 348 metres above the desert and apparently has another two thirds below the sand.
