This is my last post this year. I would like to talk about Ayers Rock which is located in the center of Australia. Do you know another name for Ayers Rock? Ayers Rock is also known as Uluru. I think many people know Ayers Rock because it is a very famous landmark in Australia. If you want to go to Ayers Rock, you need to catch a connecting flight. You can go to Ayers Rock from Sydney or Cairns by airplane. You can go to the Northern Territory by train and bus as well. However, it takes a very long time and it's expensive. In the Northern Territory, it is difficult to set to other tourist spots because Northern Territory is a desert area. There is a lot of nature and native Aboriginals live there. Tourists have to obey the rules to protect the nature and wildlife. I went to Ayers Rock on my second holiday in Australia. My host mother suggested to me that I join a tour of Ayers Rock. Many tourists come to Ayers Rock Resort so I met many Japanese people. I just stayed at Ayers Rock Resort two nights, but I saw the wonderful scenery of Ayers Rock.
First of all, I went to the valley of the winds. This is about a seven kilometer trail. During my walking, I saw many rare plants, eucalyptus trees, and large rocks. After that, I went to see the sunset of Ayers Rock. It was an amazing view of Ayers Rock. The color of Ayers Rock changed little by little. 
The next day, I woke up early in the morning because I went to see the sunrise of Ayers Rock. The Ayers Rock sunrise was different from the sunset view. The rock surface changes to the various colors in a day. Then I went to Uluru-Kata Tjuta Cultural Center. There we can learn history of Ayers Rock and lifestyle of the Aborigine. I also went to another rock’s area. Kata Tjuta is another name for the Olgas. I would recommend going to Ayers Rock when you go to Australia. In Australia, there are many famous places to visit. When speaking of Australia, I think the best symbol is Ayers Rock.
