Uluru...
I'm currently here in Uluru, having a mini-break before year-end. Call it an early birthday pressie to myself. The air is drier, my sinuses have cleared and I can see so many stars in the beautiful sky - no city lights and you can see Orion's belt (I think).
The iphone photo is actually nicer but here's a photo I took at sunset just now (I drove there).

I had quite a lovely flight here; used some points to upgrade to business class, sat behind the cockpit and one of the pilots (he was actually there as an observer because there was a trainee pilot on board) sat next to me. We got to chatting about flying, the Air France aircrash... he used to be an airforce pilot. What a long and interesting history.
Anyway, time to take a warm bath, enjoy the night and head to bed as I want to see the sunrise tomorrow!
