April 24, 2011 - The Red Desert
As we flew away from Uluru I got a shot of the desert from the plane... it really was a beautiful, unique, landscape I'm glad I got to visit. Besides seeing the rock, and wild dingoes, and beautiful stars - we also walked through the Walpa Gorge in the neighboring formation Kata Tjuta, saw real camels along the side of the road, and learned the Australian wave.
That last item is basically a frantic hand motion you make around your face to try and get some of the buhzillion flies to stop landing on you. They were insane, and all the shops sold hats with fly nets attached for people who didn't mind looking like amateur bee keepers, but luckily they were just annoying... we escaped with maybe a single bug bite between us (which could have been from something else entirely.)
