All About

Uluru (Ayers Rock)

Highlights

Uluru/Ayers Rock is one of the most recognised symbols of Australia. The monolith stands 348 metres high and has a great cultural significance for the traditional Aboriginal owners, the Anangu people.

Located 440 kilometres to the west of Alice Springs by road, Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park contains Uluru/Ayers Rock and the impressive 36 domes of Kata Tjuta (The Olgas).

These massive geological formations date back over 500 million years and are visited by thousands of travellers each year. A range of accommodation from camp sites to luxury is available at Yulara, a small township purpose built to service park visitors. Yulara contains Ayers Rock Resort, made up of a range of properties to suit most budgets, a shopping centre and an airport with daily connections to several other Australian destinations.
