Uluru (Northern Territory)

Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, is a massive sandstone monolith sacred to the Anangu people and a key symbol of Australia’s natural heritage.

Located in the heart of Australia’s Red Centre, Uluru rises 348 meters above the surrounding desert and has a circumference of 9.4 kilometers. It holds deep spiritual significance for the local Aboriginal people, and visitors can learn about its cultural importance through guided tours and at the nearby Uluru-Kata Tjuta Cultural Centre. The changing colors of Uluru at sunrise and sunset create a breathtaking spectacle. Visitors can also explore nearby Kata Tjuta, a group of large, domed rock formations. Uluru is accessible from Alice Springs and offers unique outback experiences like camel rides and stargazing.
