Day 60, Sunday, March 12, 2006 The flies here will drive you CRAZY. We purchased fly nets to cover our heads but still they get in. They head for any opening, I’ve had a couple actually fly down my throat. Well it was another 6 am departure to get to Uluru to see it at sunrise. Uluru rises 343 meters above the plain and is a spectacular sight. The walk around is about 9 kilometers and amazing erosion patterns that are not evident from a distance are everywhere. You just can’t be disappointed with Uluru, it’s a massive rock. After lunch we were back onto the bus for the long drive to Kings Canyon. On the way we stopped beside the road and gathered wood from the bush for our evening fire. One eye was looking for wood, the other for snakes, spiders and scorpions. I didn’t see any but after supper a fist sized spider walked into our kitchen. Deemed to be friendly, he was gently, whisked back outside. One of the ladies discovered a large frog in the toilet. "At least there won't be any flies to bother you."

Thanks for not including a picture of the fist-sized spider.
Friendly...sheesh!
Vicky,
Just bad luck. I didn't take my camera to supper, and that's when they seemed to show up.
Dad.
