Overview

The rock, formerly known as Ayers Rock, is 348 meters high and rises above a perfectly flat plateau. It is formed from a unique red-orange sandstone monolith that changes color depending on the weather. The crevices of Uluru are covered with rock paintings. For the indigenous tribe Anangu, the rock is sacred. Uluru, towering in the middle of the desert, is magnificent. The Aboriginal people of Australia claim that this place has power and spiritual significance like no other.

Highlights

Alice Springs

Alice Springs is a remote town in Australia’s Northern Territory, halfway between Darwin and Adelaide, both 1,500km away. It’s a popular gateway for exploring the Red Centre, the country's interior desert region. Its 1872 origin as part of the Overland Telegraph Line (linking Darwin and Adelaide) is preserved in the vintage buildings and equipment at the Alice Springs Telegraph Station Historical Reserve.

Kata Tjuta

Kata Tjuṯa, also known as the Olgas, is a group of large, domed rock formations or bornhardts located about 360 km southwest of Alice Springs, in the southern part of the Northern Territory, central Australia.

Mutitjulu Waterhole

One of the few permanent water sources around Uluru, Mutitjulu Waterhole is a place where you can sit quietly and listen to the sounds of the beginning of time. The short Kuniya walk runs from the Kuniya carpark to Mutitjulu Waterhole. The presence of water means this area is particularly lush and shady. This is one of the few places in the park where you may see wallabies among the tall grasses and river red gum trees. Bush foods also abound, including tjantu (bush tomatoes), ili (figs) and arnguli (bush plums).

Uluru

Uluru, or Ayers Rock, is a massive sandstone monolith in the heart of the Northern Territory’s arid "Red Centre". The nearest large town is Alice Springs, 450km away. Uluru is sacred to indigenous Australians and is thought to have started forming around 550 million years ago. It’s within Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, which also includes the 36 red-rock domes of the Kata Tjuta (colloquially “The Olgas”) formation.

Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park

Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park is a protected area in the Northern Territory of Australia. The park is home to both Uluru and Kata Tjuta. It is located 1,943 kilometres south of Darwin by road and 440 kilometres south-west of Alice Springs along the Stuart and Lasseter Highways.
