The alarm rang at 4:30, no, not by mistake, I really had to get up for the Uluru sunrise view. The shuttle took me from the Outback Pioneer hostel where I stayed. [a simple backpacker accommodation for a 4-star hotel price.] We got quite close to the huge red rock and located very well. Around 5:30, just before sunrise the rock began to change colors: from black went to gray, and then it slowly became red. Indeed was worth the early alarm.
Flight to Cairns, still on the ground, standard security blah-blah...
"In case of loss of pressure in the cabin, the oxygen masks will drop..."
The flight attendee demonstrated how to put on the mask, when dozens of peanuts cashews and other kinds of nuts fell out of the demonstration mask covering our heads, laps, and the entire aisle. Obviously everybody laughed including the poor flight attendee who was unable to finish the security instructions.
Cairns is a nice tropical town with a wonderful seashore.
Tomorrow I'm heading to the Great Barrier Reef.
