But what is there, is well worth a visit. We hopped on a flight to Uluru and spent a couple memorable days being wilderness explorers. To start things off, you have to wake up really early in the morning to go and watch the sun rise. Something magical happens when the first rays of the morning hit the rock, it literally turns a vivid red. You have to see it to believe it. After sunrise we, did the basewalk to get a feel for just how massive Uluru truly is. Pro tip... bring a lot of water, it gets hot! Our other big experience at Uluru was the Sound of Silence dinner. This was a repeat for Amy, who'd been here 10 years ago with her dad and brother. We greatly enjoyed seeing stars from horizon to horizon which is normally something we only get to see from our boat. The dinner also brought in an astronomer to explain the constellations we were seeing and share some of the Aboriginal legends about the stars. To cap off our outback exploration, we drove on to Kings Canyon within the Watarrka National Park. There we did a rim hike that rose to a place on my top hikes of all time. It was simply stunning. Red rocks, vivid blue sky and a literal Garden of Eden to relax in. What more could you ask for?? Thanks for watching!
