This means
‘Hello’ in the Aborigine language of the Anangu. These are the ones who are the
traditional owner of the land around Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Kata Tjuta (The
Olgas). We left Cairns on Thursday the 2nd of January 2014 very
early in the morning. After a 2.5 hour flight we landed at the Ayers Rock
Airport at 37 degrees Celsius! Oh yeah, that was really hot. On the courtesy
bus transfer to the Ayers Rock Resort (where we are staying at the Outback
Pioneer Hotel) we got told that it will get up to 43 degrees Celsius in the
afternoon! Due to this heat in summer months we are advised to drink one liter
of water per hour per person whilst outdoors! So we did our maths and after
checking into our hotel we bought 27 liters of bottled water! And it is quite
expensive even in the supermarket at the resort.
... and thereabouts. Prepared with a Working Holiday Visa I want to see, visit, explore, taste and appreciate as much as I can of Australia in one year. Follow me on a journey through landscapes, animals, cities, populations, foods and drinks. What's out there in this huge country downunder? And am I going to survive it???
