TWELVE APOSTLES AND ULURU

Hey guys, summer is coming, but so do hollidays, and it's time to start preparing our vacations. Today I'm gonna show you two of the most beautiful places in Australia. Those two, aren't as the ones I have talked in other occasions, they are touristic, but in a different way. The Twelve apostles and Uluru, are natural monuments, famous for it's natural beauty famous in the whole world.

The Twelve apostles are a group of limestone rocks, that come out of the sea. They are located in the state of Victoria, in Port Campbell National Park. Originally, they were part of a limestone cliff, but the waves ocassioned by the sea, wore the cliff, until only nine stones ( the Twelve apostles) were left. As you have just read there are only 9 stones, because the 3 missing have been destroyed by the waves in the last 10 years.



This second photo, was taken just an hour left one stone got destroyed a few years ago. 


The second place were I would go if I were in Australia, Would be Uluru, or more popular known as Ayers Rock. This massive rock it's located in the Northen territori of Australi and the nearest town, is Alice Springs, which is 400 Km far. It's 349 m high, and it is know as the worlds belly button.
Uluru, was where in old times, aborigens lived, and nowdays there are peolpe, mainly aborigens who live there. 
A curious fact about aborigens and Ayers rock is that if you have a look at the aborigens flag, tou can see a red stripe and a black one, and in the middle a yellow semicircle. The red stripe represents the floor, the black stripe the sunset, and the yellow semicircle represets Urulu.
