We flew from Cairns to Ayers Rock / Uluru.    Uluru is the official Aborigine name and I believe that now is used all the time instead of Ayers Rock.    The weather (their summer) was normally very hot and dry, but we got lucky and then had had a rain storm and the temperatures were only in the 70’s.   We did a complete 360 tour of the rock formation and then the next morning we got up really early and did a sunrise camel ride to see the sun coming up over the rock.   Later that day we went out into the outback to a viewing area to have snacks and had a toast to the sunset over the rock.  Great place to visit, but you are truly in the middle of nowhere.
