About Uluru and Attila

ULURU A World Heritage site, Uluru is a spiritual heart of Australia. It is located in the middle of that continent as part of a desert landscape of Red Centre in the North-ern Territory. • Uluru is the Aboriginal and an official name of the

massive outcrop. It means Earth Mother in the Anan-gu language. It is also known as Ayers Rock, named by William Gosse in 1873 after Sir Henry Ayers who was a South Australia Chief Secretary at the time.

• The rock was created over some 600 million years. It originally sat at the bottom of a sea, but today stands 348 meters (1114 ft) above ground. More impressively, some 2.5 kilometers (1.5 mile) of its bulk is under-ground.

• The nearby Kata Tjuta (or Olgas) are believed to have originally been one massive monolith, as opposed to the 36 separate domes they are today. They are a part of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, which was found-ed in 1950 as ‘Ayers Rock-Mount Olga National Park’, changing to its current title in 1995.

• The Aborigines have lived in the area for at least 10,000 years and the Pitjantjatjara people of Central Australia own the land, although the government currently holds a 99 year lease.

ATTILA• Attila is associated in Anangu dreaming stories with Ice

people, the ancestral spirits who bring cold weather.

• A horseshoe shaped monolith of a similar geology as Uluru, it reaches to 859 meters (2,818 ft) above sea level and to 300 meters (984 ft) above ground level.

• The monolith is also known as Mount Conner, named in 1873 after a South Australian politician M.L. Conner

• It is located on private land of a cattle ranch called Curtis Station and it is not easily accessible to tourists.

Detailed ProgramDAY 1 – ARRIVAL AT AYERS ROCK AIRPORT

Group 1 – Tuesday, May 8, 2018 Group 2 - Sunday, May 13, 2018

After arrival at Ayers Rock Airport you should transfer via a shuttle bus to the Ayers Rock resort and the Sails in the Desert hotel that is located within the resort. At the hotel, please check in at the reception desk.

Your stay will start with ‘Inma welcome to country’ performance of song and dance by Anangu artists. A dinner will be served poolside.

In Anangu culture, the art of dance is reserved for a very small number of spe-cial events and is therefore rarely seen. During the performance, senior Anangu men and women share with you their traditional song and dance or Inma. Every move and sound is rich with ancient meaning. Clapping sticks create an infectious rhythm accented by the chanting of traditional song. Ochre-painted bodies dance towards the crowd, bringing ancient stories to life.

DAY 2 – ULURU

Group 1 – Wednesday, May 9, 2018 Group 2 – Monday, May 14, 2018

Early morning departure to watch the sun rise over Uluru – an amazing 500 million-year-old monolith, and to enjoy an outback picnic breakfast. This will be followed by a guided tour to visit Mutitjulu Waterhole on the Kuniya Walk and to learn the Creation stories of Liru (poisonous snake) and Kuniya (python). After this short walk, we will drive around the base of Uluru and hear the story of the Mala people before returning to the resort.

Live presentations by Catherine and Richard followed by an informal Q&A session over lunch.The day will conclude with a dinner the Outback Pioneer Hotel BBQ – an interac-tive dining experience in a rustic Australian pub setting.

The highlight of the tour is the visit to the magnificent cave paintings – possibly the most significant art site in Central Australia. The drama of the Seven Sisters creation story is graphically illustrated on the ceiling of the cave. Later we will walk to the top of Cave Hill to admire a 360-degree panoramic of the surround-ing countryside, including Uluru 100 kilometers away, Mt Conner and the impos-ing Musgrave Ranges. We will discuss Tjukurpa and the Songlines and learn their relevance to Anangu life in the desert. You will investigate traditional food gathering and the preparation of desert bush tucker delights.

The evening is free to relax.

DAY 4 – HELICOPTER TOUR OVER KATA TJUTA DOMESGroup 1 – Friday, May 11 2018 Group 2 – Wednesday, May 16, 2018

One of the best ways to experience Uluru and the sprawling domes of Kata Tjuta is from the air. Even if you have walked around Uluru, you won’t fully appreciate the awesome spectacle of this monolith until you see it from the air. The scale and size of Kata Tjuta only becomes apparent while gliding over the group of 36 con-glomerate rock domes the highest of which stands 198 meters (650 ft) taller than Uluru and spreads 36 square km. Ayers Rock Helicopters has a long and distin-guished history offering passengers the very highest levels of safety and customer service.

Catherine and Richard will hold presentations at lunchtime, followed by a Q&A session.

Tali Wiru Dinner - enjoy the magic of fine dining under the southern desert sky. Instead of walls, this open-air restaurant has magnificent views of Uluru and the unique ambiance of desert night stillness. Relax with champagne and canapés as the sun sets to the sound of a didgeridoo. As day turns to night, stroll to the top of the dune for a four-course dinner, matched with premium Australian wines. After dinner, an indigenous storyteller will captivate you with stories of the world’s oldest living culture. Tali Wiru is so much more than a dining experience; it’s a moment in time remembered forever.

DAY 5 – DEPARTURE DAY

Group 1 – Saturday 12th May 2018 Group 2 – Thursday, May 17, 2018

Morning is free for you to relax and bond with new friends, explore local arts and galleries or, for the adventurous, squeeze in a final morning tour of your choosing.

Flights depart around lunchtime.

About The SpeakersRichard Dolan

is one of the world’s leading re-searchers and writers on the subject of UFOs, and believes that they constitute the greatest mystery of our time.

He is the author of two volumes of history, UFOs and the National Security State, both ground-breaking works which together provide the most factually com-plete and accessible narrative of the UFO subject available anywhere. He also co- authored a speculative book about the future, A.D. After Disclosure, the first-ever analysis not only of how UFO secrecy might end, but of the all-important ques-tion: what happens next?

One of Richard’s recent works, UFOs for the 21st Century Mind, provides a fresh treatment of the entire subject. He discusses the important sightings, the en-counters, the politics, the cover-up, ancient aliens, the bizarre science, disclosure, and offers advice on being both critical and open-minded in today’s world.

Richard hosts a weekly radio show The Richard Dolan Show and he is a frequent guest on Coast-to-Coast AM. He is currently featured on several televi-sion series and documentaries, including Ancient Aliens, Hangar One: The UFO Files and Close Encounters.

Prior to his interest in UFOs, Rich-ard completed his graduate work at the University of Rochester, where he studied U.S. Cold War strategy, European history, and international diplomacy. Before that, he had studied at Alfred University and Oxford University, and had been a finalist for a Rhodes scholarship. In addition to his research, Richard’s company, Richard Dolan Press, actively publishes innovative books by authors from around the world. His website is richarddolanpress.com.

Jason Bawden-Smith (JBS) is

a successful entre-preneur best known for his success in building businesses from an idea into multimillion dollar companies, but be-

hind the scenes he has also a real passion for self-realization and personal growth, seeking the answers to life’s biggest questions.

Jason holds both a Bachelor’s and Mas-ter’s Degrees in Environmental Science.

His research work during a career in aca-demia was published in Medical Journal of Australia and presented at numerous national and international environmental conferences.

Jason has founded four companies during his business career including one of largest and most successful contaminated land consultancy companies in Australia (more details at www.jbsg.com.au). Jason introduced portable analytical technology, touted as an ‘impossible application’ by the manufacturer, into the mining industry in the late 1990’s that is now found on many exploration and mine sites around the world. He attributes his personal and business success to a deep understanding of universal lore, daily contemplation and ‘imagineering.’

Driven to find a cure for his mother’s ‘incurable’ illness, Jason’s worldly experi-ences have included time with a shaman in the jungles of PNG and the outback of Australia, faith healers in Brazil and Chinese qi gong masters. He has also studied many energy modalities, quantum biology, attended several personal growth courses and spent one on one time with some of the world’s most amazing teachers and energy seers. Jason’s profound and challenging experiences have given him a unique insight on life. Including the im-portance of self-empowerment and self-re-sponsibility, our deep connection with our mother earth and how the control agenda for humanity extends beyond our planet. He feels that the integration of our heart/soul self with our brain/conscious mind may just be the key to reaching our full human potential.

Jason wrote about his life experiences in a book titled Making Waves. His second book In the Dark brings awareness to the adverse effects technology can have, and offers simple and practical measures people can take, without feeling they have to compromise the lifestyle they want.

1.1.

Catherine’s impressions from her trip to Uluru two years ago can be found on Solari’s Blog. Here are the excerpts.

Although I have traveled to New Zea-land several times, this is my fi rst time in Australia. After a 15-hour fl ight to Sydney from Los Angeles, I met up with one of my favorite Australian subscribers, entre-preneur Jason Bawden-Smith. We made our way to the domestic terminal and fl ew directly inland to Yulara in the Northern Territory. Th is is the home of Uluru and Kata Tjuta – two large sandstone rock for-mations in the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. Uluru is sacred to the Anangu, the Aboriginal people of the area.

In the morning we are off for “Desert Awakening” – a group of us pouring into a shuttle bus in the cold morning air and off down dirt roads while our guide, Sonja, watched feverishly to make sure she did not run over an occasional kangaroo or dingo. After much bounc-ing, we arrived on a special hilltop for a 360-degree view, including Uluru and Kata Tjuta, at sunrise.

For me, there is nothing more beauti-ful than sunrise in the desert. I love the ocean and the mountains, but the desert has always been in my blood. It holds a special calling for me.

We could see approximately 200 ki-lometers in all directions. On one side of the hill, the sun arises as an intense gold-en ball, shooting out a spectrum of colors as the desert comes alive before you. On the other side of the hill, there is a blue and pink coloring. Sonja explains that at these vast distances, we are watching the Earth’s shadow on this side.

Sonja is from Papua New Guinea and is very much in love with the people and

land of this place. We enjoyed briefi ngs throughout the day about the Anangu and their history, culture and art as well as about life on the land in the Austra-lian Outback. Sonja explained that as many as 400,000 people visit Uluru each year – which is remarkable as the weath-er is comfortable only during April to August. In the warmer months, tempera-tures during the day rise to 110-120F and the fl ies are said to cover your face like a blanket.

Everything in the desert is about opti-mizing energy for survival. Th e Anangu rise early and stop working in mid-morn-ing, conserving energy to begin work again in the late afternoon. Story after story communicates their survival skills – including how to fi nd and preserve water in the desert. Th e Anangu say that Uluru has a special vibration or energy and Sonja says that scientists have confi rmed this. So many scientists have come to study it apparently, that the Anangu no longer allow samples to be taken. Th ere is indeed a unique energy in this place. Th e sky is blue, the way the sky used to be many years ago in America. Th e trees are untouched by environmental pollution. Th e air is clean. And the whole place feels alive and fresh.

After dinner, we move down to a campfi re below the hilltop to hear the stories of the stars. I have often heard of the beauty of the stars in the South-ern hemisphere. Jason, in jest, says that Australia has stolen all of our stars. Even though I live in a remote area where the night sky is full of stars, I have never seen anything like it – the Milky Way is laid out before us with Orion and the Pleia-des to the right and the Southern Cross on the left. Our storyteller, Tim, tells us stories of the “Creation time” and draws out an Emu, the large Australian bird, in the stars. Our dreams were deep and rich that night.

I’m up again early the next morning for the long trip on dirt roads through several cattle stations and into a southern portion of Anangu land to visit Cave Hill. Th is time Luke was our guide and we grilled him with questions about life

in the Bush and why, after traveling to the city, he always returns to the Bush. After crossing the Curtis Fall cattle station, Luke suddenly slows the car. Th ere are two pink cockatoos in a tree by the side of the road – a male and female. Truly, I have never seen more beautiful birds. We start up again and they fl y along with us for a minute or two as we speed along the road.

We cross once again into Anangu land and suddenly that sense of powerful peace returns. Luke explains how remote our current location is: when the Interna-tional Space Station passes over, it is clos-er than any city. We arrive at Cave Hill and climb up to a series of caves fi lled with Aborigine art as Luke and Jason tell the stories of the “Creation Time” that the Anangu have passed on to them. Th is includes the story of the of the Pleiades or Seven Sisters.

Th en off for the long road back to Sails. We stop along the way to view the Atilla Mountain. Luke explains that Attila is 750 million years old – hun-dreds of thousands of years older than Uluru. Again, you feel as if you are in the presence of some great power, some mysterious history. Apparently, soon after Attila was discovered by the English Australians, it became part of the Cattle Stations and not easily accessible to tourists.

Th e next day, Jason and I take off for a helicopter ride over Uluru and Kata Tjuta. Once aloft, it is remarkable to watch how the three sites line up perfect-ly in the desert: Attila, Uluru and Kata Tjuta. What can explain such symmetry? Th e beauty is breathtaking. Not even the thud of the helicopter blades can inter-rupt the sense of peace and knowing.
