Central Australia 2

If you ever have the chance to walk around Uluru - otherwise known as Ayers Rock you may be surprised to find sights like this one. Barren sandstone with a pool of what appears to be still and somewhat deep water at the base.

I can only imagine what it must be like to have a life style that requires you to start as far away as possible from the rock when water is more plentiful - so you can gather and hunt for food and then as the water supply becomes scarce further away from more permanent pools to head back towards these sources of water and shelter and strive to survive until the weather changes again.
