We had the luxury of being able to wander around the Rock at our own pace. Being so large there are plenty of aspects to this Australian icon
The first image of the rock presented to government was a drawing of this peak by the explorer Gosse in 1872 who named it Ayres Rock after a government official who never saw the rock.
Around the base there are caves and standing water.
There is a little rock art and areas of significance to the local population.
There had been some rain a week or two before our visit so the area was surprisingly green.
We visited the climbing path we had used 38 years ago but decided not to repeat the climb. In truth the decision was made by our knees.
