Spent most of Thursday playing tourist around the National park at Ularu/ The Olgas. First stop was the Ularu visitors centre where we were fortunate enough to arrive in time to listen to a dream time story told by an elder of the traditioanl owners. Very interesting as this man was of an age that he had lived the traditioanl lifestyle prior to the arrival of white man.

We then took a walk which ended up being considerably longer than we had intended. We saw quite a lot of the base of the rock which is absolutely enormous. Didn't even consider taking the wealk up the rock as it is frowened upon by the traditioanl owners, for very good reason particularly in the heat.

After lunch we rode the 100km round trip to the Olgas. Again very spectacular. This time we looked from the look out and avoided any walking as by mid afternoon the temperature had rissen even further and was well over 40 degrees.
