OK ... my Ayres Rock fly story .....
We went a number of years ago. We had a hire car, and as you enter the park you have to wind down the window and pay at the booth. The lady at the booth had her window shut and basically told us to give her exact money ... we both wound down the windows at exactly the same time and practically threw the money/tickets at each other so we could wind back up the windows .... still got about 20 flies in the car....
So we drive on abit, and decide to change drivers. I kid you not ... the MINUTE you step out of the car, you are COVERED in flies ... like, a layer of flies, so we ran around the car to get to the other side, and I slipped and fell and hurt my leg ... so we never even climbed Uluru because of the bad leg!!!
Actually, the local tribes prefer if people don't climb it anyway, so we were happy to respect their beliefs. We did hike in the Standley Chasm near Alice Springs - Mr Movingin07 was wearing a white T-shirt and I have a (pre digital so cannot post) photo of his back, where you can barely see the T-shirt!
The flies are incredible. It's an experience. The netting is essential. The corks are useless and no real Aussies use them!
