    If you go with the right frame of mind, it really feels like the heart of the continent - vast and ancient. Kata Tjuta is also amazing - you can walk on it and explore it more. And King's Canyon walk is the most incredible few hours I've ever trekked. Don't miss it when you're there.

    When you travel through the outback like you have in the past few days, you realise how old Australia is, as a continent. No large mountains, they have all worn away. And Uluru, most of it is underground. Ancient land. And Daly Waters, its pronounced Daily Waters. Not your fault, that's how it's spelt.

    Imso glad that circumstances allowed you to visit Uluru and KataJuta , we were fortunate enough on our visit to encounter a rainstorm which made all the crevices on Uluru come alive with water falls and streams something that doesn't happen very often also after the rain it took only hours annd the desert began to bloom with wildflowers. But for me the sidetrip to KataJuta was the most sobering experience , like yourselves my wife and I had the overlook to ourselves and as my wife put it you could taste the silence not even a bird call and there were many birds ,and as you alluded to it was a spiritual feeling like I'd never felt before in any of the numerous churches and cathedrals that I've visited in my life . I got instantly what the Australian Aboriginal people were on about, when they say they belong to the land , and that the land is sacred . I might sound sappy but from your reaction to the place I now know other people felt the same way I did . Good luck on the rest of your journey and stay safe .

    I was 15 when I went to the Centre on a two week school camping trip in September 1974. I thought it was a "once in a lifetime" experience until I FELT Uluru and what beautifully captures how it feels to be an Ausie. It has regularly called me to country ever since, and I am so thankful to our Dreamtime custodians. Uluru is definitely where our country's heart is and so many others who have visited can feel the silent, still, majestic beat as well. Next year, 2024, it will be 50 years since I saw Uluru and I am going back! There is only one other place I have ever been to and felt a spiritual pulse similar to Uluru's and that was one year ago today at the Golden Temple in Amritsar, India.

    I'm not religious in any way, but at Uluru I found peace in my life. My parents had died within 18 months of each other, and I went travelling for 2 years. I went on a tour that lasted for a day, from Alice Springs, on the way back I was semi sleepy, but vividly remember my parents saying " Let us go '. They knew I would be there, and wanted to say goodbye. A magical place

    Told ya that your first sight of Uluru is something you'd remember all your lives. 🙂 The geology of the area is mind-blowing. Those little hills around Alice are the remnant nubs of a mountain range the size of the Himalayas. Uluru and Kata Tjuta are formed from the remnants of those mountains washed down by rains. And fossils of those ancient pineapples are found in Antarctica - leftovers from when Australia and Antarctica were joined as Gondwana. You'll see tiny patches of palms near Uluru from the same era. BTW - "chasm" is pronounced "kasm". 🙂

    Growing up as an Australian, I'd seen images of Uluru so many times. I was almost indifferent to it. When I finally went to see it for myself, I was so moved, I cried. It is really hard to explain - it has such an incredible, powerful presence in the landscape. And it means so much to so many people, especially the Anangu and other First Nations people of this land. It is our heart. You have had to take some hard detours to get there - back tracking and starting again. It was worth it eh?

    @@WhosNathaniel Nope, Back then, the Petermann Ranges to the west of Kata Tjuta were much taller than they are now. Rainwater flowed down the mountains, eroding sand and rock and dropping it in big fan shapes on the plains. One fan was mainly water-smoothed rock while the other was mostly sand. Around 500 million years ago, the whole area became covered in sea. Sand and mud fell to the bottom and covered the seabed, including these fans. The weight of the new seabed turned the fans into rock. The sandy fan became sandstone (Uluru) while the rocky fan became conglomerate rock (Kata Tjuta). 400 million years ago, the sea disappeared. Rocks folded and tilted as the earth’s tectonic plates shifted. Kata Tjuta tilted slightly and Uluru tilted 90 degrees. Over the last 300 million years, the softer rocks eroded away, leaving the spectacular forms of Uluru and Kata Tjuta behind. Uluru is a type of rock called arkose. If you take the base walk you can see that the surface is actually flaky red with grey patches. The flakes are bits of rock left after water and oxygen have decayed minerals in the rock. The red is the rusting of iron found naturally in arkose, and the grey is the rock’s original colour. You can see Uluru’s original grey inside many of its caves. Kata Tjuta is made from a conglomerate of pebbles and boulders cemented by sand and mud. Most of the pieces are granite and basalt, which give the conglomerate a plum-pudding effect. These magnificent rock formations are actually a lot bigger than they appear - like icebergs, most of their mass is below the surface. Uluru and Kata Tjuta are only the tips of huge rock slabs that continue underground for up to 6 km!(lifted from ParksAustralia). Sure, they sit in the same ancient sea bed, but the only physical connection is the tarmac roadway! If you have been up close and personal with both, you can see the difference easily.

    Caught some of your videos last week while on holiday. Watched most but not in order. Great work. Your shot choice and editing are professional but not pretentious. You guys are adorable and I love your honest wonder at the places you visit. Even the repeated ‘cool’ is a seal of approval rather than repetitious. Keep up the great work. 👍

    If you went to Uluru in the 1960s there was nothing there other than the rock. No indigenous people living near by. If you asked an indigenous person from the area If you could climb they would say sure if you're stupid enough to do it in the heat. Now there's literally millions of dollars being made from it it's become sacred. I've seen this from Nepal to Arizona. Money is the biggest religious force.

    I'm so glad you are able to visit Uluru and Kata Tjuta on your side trip south through the NT to South Australia. Most desert landscapes in Australia are beautiful in the small details: viewing trees at the base of a longitudinal dune, for example. But Uluru is unique in scale and majesty and nothing can really compare to it. I am also glad you felt the spiritual nature of the landscape and understand the link between land and Indigenous people. It is an incredible part of the country. I'd love to hear more about your Mum's backpacking trek through Australia, Tia!

    I climbed ayres rock when it was allowed and signed a book up the top. It was very windy and was an awesome experience. Like with everything now its all changed and i cant believe im now in my mid to late 40s! Time flies so fast! Also i remember on the climb someone had a heart attack and was leaning against the metal post with paramedics going up. A much different experience than what i saw here i must say. Finally some of the music in your vids is so cool lol. Travelling aus is awesome! Keep goin' cheers.

    I wasn’t fussed at seeing Uluṟu the first time we were up that way, but we decided to go as we were in the vicinity. Spent 4 nights in the area. Best decision. There is definitely something special and spiritual about that rock, took me by surprise - you have to experience it to believe it - it’s not just a giant rock…. Kata Tjuṯa also spectacular. If you can go, do!

    Awesome video. Kata Tjuta was earlier known as the Olgas, and Ulura was called Ayers Rock. I'm happy they changed them to native names. Tourists used to climb Uluru. It's a sacred site or the local Anungu people, who asked for years to stop people climbing it, plus it was dangerous. In 2019 they stopped people climbing it. Chasm is pronounced like a C not Ch (sorry just trying to help out.) P.S. the dumbest travel mistake I made was missing my flight to New Zealand.......twice. HAHAHA "Have you met a nice ant." (No.)
