Uluru / Ayers Rock and Surrounds
The great monolith of the Red Centre, Ulu
ru / Ayers Rock stands a whopping 348 metres above ground and reaches twice that below, revealing only part of its undulating beauty. For the local Aboriginal people, the Anangu, the World Heritage listed Ulu
ru-Kata Tju
ta National Park holds a special cultural significance. Join an Ulu
ru guided tour to learn why Ulu
ru is regarded as such a sacred place and listen to dreamtime stories about Ayers Rock’s creation many thousands of years ago.
There’s plenty to do at the base of Ayers Rock. Flat desert plains highlight the overwhelming size of Ulu
ru / Ayers Rock which can leave visitors feeling dwarfed as they walk the 9.4km trail around the base. Get up close to the flora and fauna on an Ulu
ru camel tour, or participate in the local Aboriginal culture during dot painting workshops with local artists, held at the Ulu
ru Cultural Centre.
Sunrise and sunset present the best photographic opportunities, as the sun casts a rainbow of reds and purples across the icon’s craggy face. Take in the picturesque landscape over a champagne breakfast or sunset canapés by the BBQ.
