Well a rock is a rock is a rock but this rock is big! Really big!
I won't tell you what time I got up today but I had kept my resolution for one day. But I woke up already late and it was raining so I rolled over again. Anyway we eventually got going and paid for our park pass and headed for a ranger guided walk. I did the whole thing but Elaine had to quit early, the distance wasn't great but I was on my feet for over 2 hours which was quite tiring. So I got my fill of culture and a lesson in aboriginal history remembering that it has been scientifically proven that they have been here for 40,000 years. That makes them the oldest culture in the world and they are still around and are the only culture in the world that can claim unbroken ancestry to the beginning of their time. I don't know that I put that very well but might try again tomorrow.
After that we had lunch then drove around the rock and visited another waterhole and viewed some more paintings. I should note that all theses places have story boards so that visitors like us can understand what the dreaming stories are all about. Then we found a parking spot in the specified parking area to watch the sunset on the rock and stayed their to see the sunset. Not quite as exciting as we expected but very nice anyway.
