Indians make their pilgrimage to the Taj Mahal, French to the Eiffel Tower, Nigerians to Aso Rock, Americans to the Statue of Liberty, Brazilians to the Sugar Loaf, etc... Like many Australians and tourists alike I had to make my pilgrimage to Uluru. I could not decently pretend to be a Permanent Resident without having seen it, could I? I walked the 10 kilometres around its base and the fact that the surroundings are rather flat makes it even more impressive. The most vibrant colours surely appear when the sun is low and this is where thousands of people rush to take millions of pictures. Clic, clic, clic. I am happy to have seen it (I have been wanting to for a very long time), the same way I am happy to have seen the other icons I mentioned earlier. I am also glad there are many more sites I am looking forward to.
