The Uluru Climb

the Mingo Mob.


The Anangu dont want us to climb but still it is open. I decide that cultural sensitivity can wait until I'm older. I'm fit now and my knees are still working so I'll climb it. It's a convex slope so what you can see from the ground is only a quarter of the way up. It's very safe but because I'm like an ant on the Rock, it feels as though I might slip off or get blown away.









The view is magnificent, of course. Sun rising over the red earth in a slight mist and Kata-Tjuta greets us from the distance. The way at the top is funny, running down a slope so the momentum brings you up the next one. Who cares about the painted white lines? I dont, and have a ball of a time climbing up and jumping down everywhere.

Dan brings me to see the crazy stars on the boardwalk. The stars are terrific and just sick. I wish the stars could take me. I wish I could take a picture properly
