It’s been a while, again.
And anyone who’s been following this journey for some time knows my pattern by now. When things are great, I tell you all about it. When things are too great to even cope, I disappear into the experience and go dead silent. Just like I did halfway through Australia. Writing this I’m not even still in the country, but luckily for this blog, I’m not ready to let go just yet.
There are lots to tell, and little by little I’ll let you in on what really happened during those last weeks in the outback. Physically some of the tougher ones I’ve had on this entire adventure, spiritually some of the better ones of my life. For the sake of chronology though, let’s start off where we left things last.
Deep in the Red Centre, right by the spiritual heart of Australia.
At Uluru.
Central Australia is ranging from being very, to ridiculously empty. Drawing nearer to this mythical rock though, vast numbers of people are rapidly making a quick reentrance in ones life. Like from this magnetic pull, hordes of caravans, camper-vans, tour buses (and the odd cyclist) are all pilgriming mid desert to get a glimpse of this glowing piece of mystery.
Parking my bike at the entrance of the national park, I spent a couple of slow days hitching my way back and fourth between the natural wonders of Uluru and Kata-Tjuta.
Laughing the days away with some people…
…and trying to figure out what’s going on in the minds of some others…
And of course, simply let nature take my breath away.
Never in my life, would I have guessed that this place could even get close to living up the the insane hype around it. And in a way I guess it didn’t. This was something different.
I’m not sure how to put it into words. But Uluru isn’t merely another ‘Must See’. In fact I don’t think it’s a must see at all. This place is a Must Feel. Many of you reading this has been there, and I’m absolutely convinced that you know what I’m taking about.
The rest of you, simply have to go and find out. Go, and feel an Uluru sunset for yourself.
This is gold.
Until next time,
Fredrika
