Hello Friends,
This week I’m writing about Uluru, which is a large, beautiful red sandstone rock formation located in the middle of Australia. It's also called the heart of the red center. Uluru has been in the news recently and for this Part One post I’ll talk about the rains.
Uluru, the mysterious monolith rises above a desert plain. It’s been around for a long time like 600 million years. The traditional owners are the Anangu people.
Uluru is thought of as mystical, sacred and magical by first nations people and regarded as a special place by Australians.
In early June, the big rock was covered in cloud and took on an eerie, translucent appearance as rain fell in the red desert center. Uluru has caves, water holes and canyons and the rains made the waterfalls flow on the eastern side. People who saw the rare event say the noise and sights were a unique experience of Uluru. Watch the video of the rain fed waterfalls.
In my next post, Part Two, I’ll write about the developments in recent years that have happened in the red heart of Australia. Uluru is a living, cultural landscape and messages are being sent out to beyond, if we can hear them. I hope you can join me again.
stay well,
