Ayers Rock In The Rain
It’s not really something I’ve ever thought about to be quite honest.
I always think of Ayers Rock as a hot, arid, place.
But in the rain, it is SO different. Unfortunately, pictures don’t really do it justice, but we did try to capture the experience as best we could.
This is on the way out to the rock in the morning. It looked like a volcano with steam coming out the top (but it’s really just cloud):
All around the rock were streams of water like this one, flowing down the rock:
Now, I know you’re going to struggle to believe this next one is really Ayers Rock but you’ll just have to take my word for it!
It’s a small gorge at the base of the rock and in the rain, water just streams into it. It was quite cold in this spot with the water spray chilling the air (when you got back from the rock, away from the water, the temperature was warmer). Evaporative air conditioning at it’s most natural!
It was great to find a spot where we could take refuge from the rain in a cave-like section of the rock:
It was quite a popular spot so wasn’t easy to get a photo without others in it!
And a visit to Ayers Rock in the rain wouldn’t be complete without this:
A little drink direct from water coming down and dripping from the edge of the rock!
He certainly provided plenty of amusement for others visiting the rock. 
I feel so blessed and amazed to have had the opportunity to see such a magnificent part of Australia in the rain. I’m sure the experience is one that is going to stay with me forever!

Just gorgeous. I loved Uluru but did not see it in the rain - my parents have and said it’s spectacular.
What an amazing experience!
It looks so much nicer in the rain!
Most pictures I see are a red rock on red dirt.
Boring.
Your pictures are so much nicer.
Gorgeous!
Terrific photos! I’ve never seen the rock in the rain so I think you’re one of the lucky few!
Wow looks fantastic even in the rain.
