One of the things I really wanted to do while in the Outback was go on the Ayers Rock Observatory Night Sky Tour. The sky at Ayers Rock was huge. Ever been to Montanna and expereince the Big Sky State thing? Well think bigger, lots bigger. Just you and the stars.
The day of our planned tour was cloudy and we had a little rain (it rains all of 3 days a year in Ayers Rock) and as the day went on the clouds stayed so we found out that the tour was cnacelled. I was pretty bummed but decided to go to a lookout point at our camp resort to check out the night sky.
Jenny and I walked up to the lookout and it was friggin beautiful. There was an almost full moon and a strong breeze that had blown away a fair amount of the clouds and left a patch of clear sky. We saw the Southern Cross and countless other constellations that I'm not sure of. We were the only ones at the lookout. We were kinda suprised as it seemed like the perfect night to do some star exploring.
