Uluru, Australia

Uluru is the Aboriginal name for the World Heritige Listed rock, which used to be known as Ayres Rock. It is a stunning site and it truly took my breath away.

On the first night we enjoyed a delicious meal under the stars, watching the sunset behind Kata Tjuta (also known as the Olgas).






We were treated to some traditional Aborginal dance with our champagne and a star gazing lesson with our meal. It was magical.

The next morning we were up early to see the sunrise over the rock - whilst riding camels... There are hundreds of thousands of wild camels in Australia (estimates range from 300,000 to over - million) and it has the largest camel population in the world.

I was a little nervous to climb aboard these big creatures as they don't have the best reputation, but it was a wonderful experience.
