Uncle Tom and his old mate yarnin up at Uluru

Uncle Tom and this other old chap [pictured] whom he met, got along like a house on fire.  Both men were making the journey to one of the most sacred places on Earth - That is most obviously "Uluru".  To get here had been the dreams of both of these gentlemen they both said they wished to go there before they died.  This was humorous in a sad way.

  They cracked jokes and encouraged each other in the heat.  Both men were in their late eighties and so it wasn't an easy task to get around such a large sprawling desert when your that age. 

Sadly Uncle Tom has passed now, and I wonder if this chap is still keeping him company yarnin up about the great trip they had to the centre of Australia?
