Uluru (Ayers Rock)

A towering monolith rising abruptly from the red desert landscape, Uluru is one of Australia’s most recognisable natural landmarks, instantly identified by its striking red colour and unique shape. Named Ayers Rock by early European settlers, the giant rock is a significant cultural and spiritual site for the Anangu people, who have inhabited the region for at least 30 000 years.

While Uluru may be the most famous rock of the Red Centre, it is by no means the only attraction in the area. At Kata Tjuta (aka the Olgas) you’ll find multiple walking trails to explore the domed rock formations and surrounding desert. A visit to the Uluru-Kata Tjuta Cultural Centre will give you a window into the lives and culture of the local Anangu people. Further afield, Kings Canyon is a must for any hiking enthusiast.
