That was a little crab that we saw at the blowhole. There is definitely not nearly as much life in the tide pools than I thought there would be.Beautiful shots!
What is that? Crab? Scorpion?

He was so neat and even perform med for us… story coming up in TR.Thorny devil! Cool! No idea what the rest are… which is also cool.
Well when I travelled there in 1991 the flies were plentiful. I did have a photo of the back of the person ahead of me's jacket but I can't find it right now. If you brushed them off them, they just swarmed you.Gonna guess… just a few bugs there?
Can very much relate to this. Northern Canada can also be... hellish.Well when I travelled there in 1991 the flies were plentiful. I did have a photo of the back of the person ahead of me's jacket but I can't find it right now. If you brushed them off them, they just swarmed you.
From history books Aussies used to wear cork hats - may or may not be true.
The theory behind cork hats is that the dangling corks go some way to keeping flies off your face. Visitors from other parts of the world might not understand why this is necessary, but it is. In the United Kingdom, one buzzing fly might be mildly annoying. In an Australian outback destination such as Uluru, Kings Canyon, Lake Eyre or Balladonia, seemingly zillions of flies can descend on you. On a hot day, it is particularly hellish – no amount of frantic arm-waving seems to shake them off.
We really learned a lot about the Aborignal culture and way of life that has persisted many thousands of years.I like your hat.
I'm looking forward to more pictures of Uluru. It looks interesting.
