Fall 2008 Fashion Week: Sustainable Eco Chic by Uluru
2008-02-07 20:57:00 Collaborating with Natalie Chanin of Alabama Chanin (formerly of Project Alabama), Uluru's Caroline Priebe found herself inspired this season by the artist Frida Kahlo, Irving Penn's iconic images of Balenciaga in the 1950s, and a stylish handmade red suede jacket she found in her Grandma Fritzi's closet. The looks focused on sculptural separates in hemp/wool, silk, bamboo denim and other innovative eco-fabrics in shades of black, fuschia, charcoal, teal, cream, and citrus. To keep the collection 100% biodegradable, the clothes were created without closures, designed to slip on or wrap around.

How you should do Ayers Rock Resort and Uluru differently
2008-01-31 09:46:00 I’ve been thinking about the issues surrounding the monopoly at Ayers Rock Resort, and how I’d do Uluru differently next time. Because the person I called at Ayers Rock Resort was great about changing my stay without penalty with one day’s notice due to my sinus infection, I really did not have much flexibility ...
The monopolistic mess that is Ayers Rock Resort
2008-01-21 16:20:00 On their guest survey forms, the people at Voyages who run the Ayers Rock Resort ask a question about rating “value for money” on a scale to 10. My answer is somewhere around -4. This has been the only truly disappointing part of the trip. The fact that the Australian government has granted Voyages a ...
Desert Awakenings 4WD Tour
2008-01-21 13:59:00 On Monday, I was up at 4am for the main tour I had purchased: the Desert Awakenings 4WD tour. At A$130, it was not cheap, but it promised the most interesting small-group experience. I had reconfirmed my reservation when I got to the resort, and was told that I’d be picked up at 4:40am. ...

Central Australia Part 2: The Olgas and Uluru
2006-06-30 10:00:00 After some good times at the little bar in a resort nearby, we went to visit the Olgas. This geological formation was so impressive that it is weird to think that more people don't know about it. I think I didn't know about it until I arrived in Australia and looked into this trip. We went on a cool hike that took us in between some of the huge hills or spires or whatever they should be called. During the whole walk I amused people by telling them how it was all formed and why there were big chunks of rock all cemented together. All the rock that makes up the Olgas is really unique and unlike pretty anything I had seen or heard about in school before. For such prominent geological features, I found it hard to find websites discussing their origins or giving more than an elementary level explanation. I ended up buying a think book that went into depth about them both which made visiting the area way cooler by knowing how it all got there.Seeing as this was our first real day of vis...
