Australia's Red Centre

shyaman · December 6th, 2011, 12:19 PM

Australia's Red Centre is the heart of Outback Australia located in the Northern Territory. The Red Centre takes its name from the uniquely reddish soil found in the area.

Salt lakes are a significant landform in the southern part of the Northern Territory, covering an area of some 2800 square kilometres. The salt lakes formed as a result of saline ground water discharging to the surface.

Mt Conner is a flat-topped and horseshoe-shaped 'inselberg', part of the same vast rocky substrate thought to be beneath Uluru and Kata Tjuta.

Uluru, which used to be known as Ayers Rock, is Australia's most famous rock monolith.

In the background is Kata Tjuta, also known as The Olgas, a group of large domed rock formations.

ULURU AT SUNSET

75 minutes prior to sunset, everyone's destination was the Uluru sunset viewing area.

The sinking sun over the western horizon brings out the many shades of colour for which Uluru is famous.

With complimentary wine and nibbles, watching a massive monolith change its moods is just spectacular.

What a dream and I am willing to wait ... And thanks for sharing such a wonderful and memorable series ... __________________ We looked at mountains until dawn, and then when dawn came, it was too pretty for me - there was pink and blue and gold, in the sky, and on icy places, brilliant pink and gold flashes, and the snow was colored too, and I said," Oh," and sighed; and each moment was more beautiful than the one before; and I said, " I love you, Momma." Then I fell asleep in her arms. That was happiness then. - Harold Brodkey
