Climbers tackling Uluru (Ayers Rock) by tamstar

I had heard that the Uluru climb was steep, but I didn't realise that it would look _that_ steep. The Uluru Anangu (the local Aboriginal people who own the rock) prefer that visitors do not climb it for two reasons: 1. the path crosses over an important Tjukurpa (the Dreaming) site; and 2. Anangu as custodians feel a sense of responsibility for visitors and their safety. There have been a number of fatalities due to climing Uluru.

Sunset from the mud flats of Roebuck Bay, Broome, Western Australia by tamstar

Palazzo Versace, Queensland by tamstar

The world's first six star hotel. Very luxurious, a bit cheesy though. Can't escape Donatella Versace's face - it's even imprinted on the bottom of the drinking glasses in the rooms.
