Got to do that and left with a whole lot more. There are actually no photos of my absolute favorite travel memory ever. There was a nighttime barbecue dinner at Uluru. Afterwards, local specialists pointed out all of the planets and constellations. It was so beautiful to see everyone so rapt in listening, learning, and taking in the amazing sky. No talking and more importantly no photos after they realized that photos couldn&#8217;t capture the night accurately. I&#8217;m thankful for the new lifelong friends that I made on that adventure.
