The serene and star filled night had given me a relaxing good night sleep. A feeling of excitement and exuberance filled my thoughts as I look forward to tomorrow’s early morning tour to Uluro to witness the dawn breaking motion of daylight. Continue reading
Last year, I met a very good friend who offered me a vacation treat to Australia. I barely knew about the background of this new friend but I grabbed the opportunity without thinking whether to go or not but I had a feeling he is a good man and that I can trust him. I took the chance, he sponsored me, I applied for a visa and after two weeks the visa was approved then I flew to Australia specifically to Adelaide, Southern Australia. One of our itineraries is to visit Ayer’s Rock.
Ayer’s Rock or ULURU is a gigantic hunk of stonework and a real megalith. It is one of the most impressive landmarks of Australia and located in the southern part of the Northern Territory in central Australia.

Ayer’s Rock is surely one of the must visit destinations in the world. It highlights spectacular Aboriginal Rock Sculpture sites that can be seen on guided walks and tours around the base. Discover it yourself and be amazed of its natural sights. Ayer’s Rock is noted for its changing color at different times of the day particularly when it sheens red at dawn and sunset.

The Irawan Eco Park Adventure
As we toured around Puerto Princesa just riding a tricycle, my attention was caught by a small piece of paper pasted in front of us… it’s a sort of flyer… saying “Visit Irawan Park”. We found out that Irawan Eco Park is located south of Puerto Princesa. It is a 3,000 hectares Flora and Fauna Protected Area which form part of the Irawan Watershed.
We explored the place (me and my friends). We didn’t have any tour guide; we just hired a van, went there and roamed around the place. The place is worth exploring and we really did not missed any chance of trying their breath taking Zipline (1.3 km long) and of course……
the heart pumping Skywalk (their own version of canopy walk)
The place is suitable for all kinds of people. Even people who dislike adventures can visit the place and enjoy the sight, hear the sounds of the creatures in the jungle, enjoy bonding with the fish while you feed them and while they massage your feet.
After a few hours, we roamed around the eco – park, took pictures and watched the beautiful sunset.
We ended our day with a dinner at their small and cozy resto tasting one of their exotic foods …..the Crocodile Sisig.
After a sumptuous meal, we happily headed back to the hotel.
Some lines to remember…..
