Overview
"Journey into Australia's dusty Red Centre and experience for yourself two of the continent's star attractions Uluru and Kata Tjuta "
Journey into Australia's dusty Red Centre and experience for yourself two of the continent's star attractions. Explore the immense rock domes of Kata Tjuta, witness an unforgettable Uluru sunset and enjoy a delicious spread of produce with local native food. Encounter the world's biggest rock up close on a walk around its base, learn of the First Australians mythologies woven into it and admire Aboriginal arts and crafts on display in the Uluru Cultural Centre. Short though this two-day trip may be in time, it's mighty large in attractions.
Why we love this trip:
- The ancient formations of Kata Tjuta and the monumental Uluru are synonymous with the quintessential Australian landscape
- Enjoy a locally sourced dinner under the stars and camp on the vast red earth of the outback, well away from civilisation
- Guided walks at Kata Tjuta and around Uluru provide insight into the history and spirituality of the First Peoples of Australia
Itinerary
Yulara/Kata Tjuta/Uluru (Ayers Rock)
This afternoon visit the 36 red rock domes of Kata Tjuta (The Olgas), getting up close to this ancient geological formation. Get to know the domes, dunes and gullies on a walk through the Domes of Kata Tjuta. We make our way to Uluru as the sun sets; watch the colours of Uluru change. The perfect end to a remarkable day is awaiting you back at camp, as you enjoy a delicious spread of food with your group. If the weather permits, sit outside under the stars. Accommodation: Permanent safari camp (with shared facilities)
Uluru Sunrise
An early start this morning is rewarded with an Uluru sunrise as the sun hits the icon like a beacon, before the light floods the surrounding landscape. Your guide will take you to one of the significant cultural sights of Uluru, outlining Anangu rock art and passing on one of the creation stories of the site. While the morning is fresh, the time is yours to enjoy the self-guided, full base walk of Uluru, taking in all of the textures and valleys up-close, which isn’t evident from afar. The on-site Cultural Centre also houses an extensive collection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander arts and crafts for you to browse. Perhaps purchase some art and craft of the First Peoples of Australia at the Uluru Cultural Centre before ending your tour at the Ayers Rock Resort. Notes: Please do not book a flight departing prior to 12:30pm
