Amazing

Last night I watched the sunset on Ularu. It was amazing but very surreal. It was almost as if the rock was painted onto the sky, it had a slightly unreal quality about it. When the sun hit the desert it glowed with life, it was like looking at a movie scene with a painted backdrop, if that makes any sense. There were about 10 of us sitting up at the lookout behind the resort and the atmosphere was incredible, it was like being in a cathedral, everyone was talking in hushed tones and rarely at that, we just sat, and watched. I'm just lounging around the resort today, you have to pay for a pass into the National Park and more tours once you get there. Also it is warmer here than it was in Melbourne so going for a walk of a few k's probably isn't a good idea right now. Besides, am still sulking ;) It's a pity really because there are some cave paintings and things you can see on the walks round the base. It amazes me actually, there are several tours which take you to climb the rock which is a sacred site for the Aborigines of the area. They don't want you to climb it and ask you not to yet people blatantly do and with no regard or respect for the feelings of the Aborigines. It's like running shouting and screaming into Westminster Cathedral and climbing up and over everything with muddy shoes on. You wouldn't do it there so why do it here?
