Weekend Travel Section Roundup

Uluru, 440 kilometres south west of Alice Springs, fascinates and inspires people from around the world with its glowing presence at sunrise and sunset. The Anangu people prefer visitors don't climb Uluru because it's a sacred site, so nowadays many visitors choose to do the Uluru base walk instead. Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is connected to Alice by networks of sealed roads and has its own airport. Archaeological work suggests that Aboriginal people have lived in the area for at least 22,000 years.

In 2002 I've spent my summer vacation in Australia. I had a wonderful time there. I used the song "Hero" (Nickelback), because it's been on the radio every single day. Eery time I get to hear it, I get depressed somehow *lol*. What I enjoyed most? I enjoyed every part I've been to. First Sydney, been there for about 2 weeks. What a great city. Alice Springs was a bit too hot for my share. I loved the tropical feeling in Cairns, and Port Douglas. Port Douglas was the most northern point I went to. Noosa was charming, as well as Brisbane. I also liked Newcastle. Was impressed by the port.
