1. Read James’s blog post.
This is the end of the second week of my trip to Australia. I’m spending a few days at Ayers Rock,
or Uluru, as the local people call it. I took the train here from Adelaide because I wanted to see
as much of this huge country as possible. It was a really long journey and a little boring, to be
honest.
There isn’t really that much to see – just desert and a few plants here and there! I didn’t even see
any animals. Most of them only come out when it starts to get dark, so they probably were asleep. I
guess it’s too hot for them in the sun.
When I got here, I met the group of students I’m camping with. We have a fantastic local guide who
knows so much about the history and geography of this place. The weather is really extreme. It’s very
hot during the day and freezing at night! No one can remember the last time there was heavy rain
here, so you can imagine how careful everyone is with water.
Tomorrow, we’re hiking around Ayers Rock. It doesn’t look that big in pictures, but the trail around
the rock is almost 10 kilometers. It’s a long hike, but I’m sure I can do it. The colors are amazing . . .
reds and oranges and purples. I’m really looking forward to taking some good photos.
