Mutitjula Waterhole


Just to the left of the large tree on the left is a gouge in Uluru. This leads down to Mutitjula waterhole. Farther around to the left is this missing bite from Uluru where it seems like a dandy place to take shelter. This combined with the water made this corner a well used place to live during the season when Aboriginals were in residence.





The shapes and colors of this place are amazing.


Shooting in between branches of a tree gives this composition.


Finally, we reach the waterhole. Water drips down from the top of Uluru to help form this clear pool of water. And much to our surprise, we find a yellow whipsnake


This is mildly poisonous snake that lives here in this pool.


We also shared the pool with this little fellow. As near as we can tell, this is a Scarlet Arrow Dragonfly. He certainly is red.


On the way back to the ute, we stopped to admire this view of the great stone through these white barked trees.


It was near noon when we arrived and it was pretty warmish here. Even at the cool water of the waterhole, it was still hot.
