Uluru

Picture
Located in Australia’s Red Centre, Uluru/Ayers Rock can be accessed by an easy 40 minute flight from Alice Springs or as part of a 5-day Red Centre Way self-drive adventure.

Arguably Australia’s most famous natural icon, Uluru/Ayers Rock is best visited at sunrise or sunset. Seeing this 348-metre tall natural wonder glow in the changing sunlight is mesmerizing.

As ruggedly beautiful as it is culturally significant, visitors to Uluru/Ayers Rock are entranced by the unmistakeable spirituality of the region. See Uluru through the eyes of its traditional Aboriginal owners, the Anangu, by joining a cultural tour.

The adventure experiences on offer here are not for the faint-hearted. Get an Uluru experience with a difference and trek the 9-km Uluru base walk, take to the skies in a helicopter, jump on the back of a camel or feel the wind in your hair with a ride on a Harley Davidson.

Until recently, this monumental landmark was known as Ayers Rock, as named by European explorer William Gosse in 1873 and often misspelt as Ayres Rock. Today Uluru is jointly managed by the Anangu people and Parks Australia.
