Kata Tjuta and the valley of the wind<\/p>\n
The valley of the wind\u2026 I’m a little bit ashamed that I didn’t realize earlier. I just though “hey, sounds nice, I like the name”. It took Cassie asking “have you seen the movie Nausicaa of the valley of the wind? Myiasaki find some of its inspiration here”. And then, I realize. Uluru’s shape, from a certain angle, remind me the Omu (the giant insect). Even the name, Omu, sounds like Emu in english\u2026 the shape of the mountain, a landscape that looks really organic\u2026 yes, Nausicaa is everywhere around us. <\/p>\n
The day started with a sunrise. Who says sunrise says wake up early. Much to early. For a second day in a row. As for the sunset yesterday, sunrise is the reason for a big gathering of more that 50 people (yes, it’s harder to come for a sunrise than a sunset). But I have a place that I like, where I can enjoy the landscape. When the sun is a little bit upper in the sky, and breakfast is eaten, we can take the road to Kata Tjuta. <\/p>\n
It’s quite hard to find the good word to describe Kata Tjuta. After Uluru yesterday, I didn’t know what to expect. I discovered something completely different. More sacred than Uluru, definitely not as known. Only two areas are open to the public. That’s more than enough! <\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n
After Kata Tjuta, Cassie drive us back to Uluru, for a quick visit of the cultural center (photo forbidden) before giving us a short guided walk. A few geological explanation about the rock, but mainly cultural\/historical explanation from an aboriginal point of view. We discover an other side of the rock, that I like even more. Once again, I can feel it. Deep inside me. Like a deep slow vibration. <\/p>\nngg_shortcode_1_placeholder\n
Back to the bus for a couple of hours driving. Going to Kings Canyon, on tomorrows planning. This time, we’re alone at the campground. No other group. Quiet evening with an other campfire. And as I do have my fire staff and some kerosene left over\u2026 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
