My youngest brother, when he worked in WA, made a pilgrimage to see it actually.
Report
Ohhh, fantastic.

I'd not only like to see Uluru, but I'd also love to visit other parts of the Australian desert. My uncle and his family lived in a remote Indigenous community for a number of years, and the way he speaks (and writes poetry) about the desert... well, one day I'm going to have to go and see it for myself.

Do you mind if I ask what your brother was working at in WA? The first thing that sprang to my mind was "mining", but I am probably way off the mark.

Not too far off. He works in the oil industry, travelling to exotic locations all over the world. He was offered a long-term job in WA, but his wife didn't want to live there (she felt more comfortable in Scotland).

Ahh, right. I suppose the main reason people move to WA is for industry of one sort or another.

(I've never been to WA or to Scotland... and yet I think I can understand his wife's preferences. )

Hers have a lot to do with Perth being full of migrants from South Africa who left when things changed in 1994.
