Sat Nov 2 2013 Uluru/Ayers rock

Got up for 4:45 departure to walk around the rock today
It was dark and windy and warm
We saw the sun rise over the rock and looked at gorge areas and caves
It is a special place and we had the natives people's stories about the myths of the rock e planned to us
We had breakfast a little later and finished the 12.5 km walk by 10:30 am and it was stifling hot already
I found internet access here in another hotel so will be quick
The area is in the middle of the desert and yes there are birds here
Not many but they are concentrated here which with the gardens is a bit of an Oasis
I Identifed a bird on my own and it only took 15 minutes
I managed to get a photo of it and then started on the bird guide
Got the bird I'd confirmed by a guide who knew some of the birds
I will watch the sun set  over the rock again today
