　　Dear Shen Ping,

　　I wish you could see this amazing rock. It is part of one of Australia's 14 Worm Heritage Sites and

　　rises about 335 metres out of a vast, flat sandy plain. A t different times of the day it appears to

　　change co/our, from grey-red at sunrise, to golden and finally to burning red at dusk. Aboriginal people have lived near Uluru for thousands of years and yout can walk around it with an Aboriainal guide to learn about their customs, art, religion and day-to-day life. It is also possible to climb the rock, but most people don't do this out of respect for the Aboriginal people who consider the rock to be sacred. I’ll be back in Sydney in a fortnight because I've made a reservation on the Indian Pacific train to Perth.
