Can you see the moon above Uluru? It feels as though the moon is everywhere here, it is prominent and lights up a clear and amazing view of our milky way. There are no street lights in Docker River, which has made locating planets and observing the ever changing night sky an absolute joy. This week I am taking some students on a camp out along with an astronomer and a telescope. Lucky me!
From the Docker River turn off you can see the Olga's from a different angle.
It is mostly about 30 degrees and perfect here but the winds at night are rather fearce, resulting in a the trees and grass all being uniformly slanted.
The landscape is absolutely amazing. I didn't imagine that it could ever be so beautiful. It's like someone has turned the colour up. The reds come in all shades, as do the greens and blues. Sunset is my favourite time of day, watching the blue sky turn to lilac, orange, yellow and finally black. Good night to you! xxxx
