Brian's Australian Adventure: Week 3

Libby, Alex, and myself had decided that we wanted to see Uluru and Kata Tjuta (Ayers Rock and The Olgas). We hopped in the car for a 5 hour drive (ugh...and that's with NO speed limit half of the way) down to Uluru. The trip was fantastic - you simply cannot understand the size of Uluru! It's just huge!

Then, tonight, we had dinner at Drew's house where we were joined by some hopping friends in his back yard!
