Ayers Rock Australia

Located 500km west of Alice Springs in Central Australia, Ayers Rock is considered to be among the natural wonders of the world. Uluru is the aboriginal name for Ayers Rock and is owned by the aboriginal people of the Pitjatjanjara and Anangu tribes from the settlement of Arunta. The best way to see Ayers Rock in Australia is to climb up to the top. Once you reach the top you then get a true sense of the fauna and flora that covers the vast area, including an amazing scenery spanning over the vast land.

If you don't fancy walking around Uluru, you must watch it during sunrise or sunset. The rock changes colours, from greys, to browns, to reds, to oranges, to yellows. It really is an amazing experience and it changes everyday.

The Olgas

The Olgas, known as Kata-Tjuta, are situated about 30km from Uluru in the NT and are made up of 36 rounded domes with the tallest being Mt Olga. The domes vary in colour with the intensity and level of the sun. These natural wonders are located within the Uluru (Ayers Rock) National Park, in the Northern Territory.

The closest accommodation to the Olgas is at the Ayers Rock Resort. There is a good range of accommodation at Ayers Rock in Australia to suit all tastes and budgets.

Using Ayres Rock accommodation as a base, you can also visit Mutujulu Cultural Centre and Maggie Springs. There are other short walks, such as the Mala Walk, which is 2km and the Mutujulu Walk, which is 1km.
