Visiting Uluru

We walked part of the way around Uluru (PiP 1 shows the tracks). It does become more impressive with proximity and, although the Aboriginal owners prevent access to some areas with traditional links, it is possible to visit Aboriginal cave paintings from earlier times.

Magnificent colours George. Do you know how old the cave paintings are?

tiabunna replied to Rosalyn Hilborne:

Thanks, Rosa. Although Uluru was first "discovered" by a surveyor in 1873, the western world didn't intrude greatly until the 1950s, so the paintings would have largely finished at about that time. This article covers their history and details: parksaustralia.gov.au/uluru/do/rock-art
