Uluru and Kata Tjuta

Uluru a massive, distintively rounded, red sandstone monolith is the Icon for Australia.

Traditional Aboriginal people traveled from all parts of this vast land, on foot to hold sacred ceremonies in this sacred place. You can feel there spirit here. Today the Anangu people carry on the ceremonies passed down through the centuries.

Tjukurpa, the creation, the foundation of Anangu life is a much more powerful concept than Dreaming for unlike Dreaming which suggests unreality and change, Tjukurpa tells of man's nature bound with the land past, present and a responsibility for its future. It is the law. Anangu, its people, are pleased that this interaction between themselves and the land has now been recognized as World Heritage value.

The following are photos I was privileged to take while there last year.
