... room in our clothes storage area for hardly anything else. I say clothes storage area rather than dresser because our T shirts ran over into the closets and into some under-bed storage bins and probably a few other places as well. So we got to the point where we had to start dumping some of the older well worn T shirts and maybe choose not to purchase so many on trips either.<br> T shirts tell a history ...

... outback. A woman's carrying bowl came out of the bloodwood tree which was quite hard. Spears came from mulga trees as did the woman's carrying stick and a man's spear thrower. Only one tool was ever taken from one tree that way the trees continued living. It would be chopped out with a quartz rock that had been sharpened so it took quite a lot of work to get out ...

... site for them. They don't climb and they would really like to request that no one else climbs the rock either but they have made an agreement with the Australian government and so for now, the Rock stays open to climbers - sometimes.<br> We get different stories from different guides so it is good to go do things with more than one tour company. Here are some of the climbing stories we heard.<br>On one side of the rock close to the base ...

... There are a couple of viewing sites that are free and you can walk to them as they are in the resort area. If you have your own car, you can drive into the park and go to the various sites and do the walks yourself. The tours are usually sunrise or sunset tours and then walking tours.

Resorts were set up rather close to Ayers Rock and even a dirt landing strip was put in right next to the rock. A steel chain was installed on the path that goes up the rock to make climbing it easier although even with the chain, it is not an easy walk or climb. <br> A couple of ...

Australia is famous for their animals and how many poisonous ones they have and how quickly they can kill you. Luckily you never see most of these animals unless you purposely seek them out in a zoo or reptile house. The outback has their own breed of "deadly" animals that won't kill you but will slowly drive you crazy. The blasted, bloody, infernal, leave me alone, go away ...

... from me, dang it fly. They are not big flies but there have got to be millions of them. They only want a sip of moisture but to get that sip, they'll try and find it from your eyes, your mouth, your nose, sweat off your skin, your ears, well, you get the picture.<br> We didn't have much trouble with these flies in Darwin or Perth. In Darwin we noticed a few but they were ...

... shoes have lost their original color and become red shoes. My tennies are black but I haven't been able to tell that for days. In fact, some of the time, you look at your skin and think, Oh my Gosh! I'm getting a sunburn but then you take a shower and your sunburn washes down the drain. Red Centre. Definitely.<br> Photos of Uluru (Ayers Rock) will show up everywhere with ...
