early morning at Uluru
Uluru is the spiritual heart of Oz - according to Aboriginal legend
she was still in her PJs :)
cloudy sunrise, so not as pretty as sunset - but still pretty amazing!
pre-sunrise
watch for camels - this was at 5am on my drive into Uluru to watch the sunrise (they were still sleeping)
we continued our 12 days of Christmas on the road
christmas tree cupcakes on the road!
a cold snap hit the area (which was fine with us), so cloudy and a bit rainy at times
Jason's view while we took some family photos
ah...it really is pretty!
