Ayers Rock is a renowned emblem of Australia and remains a sacred site for the Aboriginal people. The sheer size and ambience of this monolith make it easy to understand how it, and the land surrounding it, has such huge spiritual significance for the Aboriginal people. It is 9.3kms in circumference, and the icy-green and grey vegetation at its massive base offer a refuge for wildlife. As the sun moves through the sky throughout the day you will see the rock display a range of changing colours, which enhance the mystery and beauty of the structure. The Olga’s, about 32 kms west of Uluru are a collection of 36 steep, rounded, golden-brown domes that cover more than 3,500 hectares and their site is also considered sacred. There are a number of cultural and geologically themed walks through the domes and their surrounding gorges and valleys, which will give you a wonderful appreciation for the majesty of the structures. Sunrise at the Olga’s is a magical experience and we recommend that you take at least 2 days to fully explore Yulara and its surrounds. Yulara is the purpose built resort town housing the hotels and services for visitors to Ayers Rock and The Olga’s. It is located approximately 20kms from the Rock and there is a good choice of accommodation options from 3 star hotels and self-catering studios to 5 star boutique hotels and unique deluxe tent-style properties. Facilities include souvenir shops, a supermarket, cinema, information centre and numerous restaurants. Kings Canyon is an exhilarating blend of craggy rock structures and imposing cliff faces with steep gullies and an oasis named the Garden of Eden. There are stunning walks through the canyon offering spectacular views. Alice Springs is a quaint outback town and acts as the commercial centre for the surrounding region. It is home to the School of the Air, which educates children in isolated areas by radio. Alice also acts as the base for the Flying Doctors of the region and is a major centre for Aboriginal culture. It is ideally located for visiting these some of the other awe-inspiring and colourful natural wonders of the region including the MacDonnell Ranges, Simpson’s Gap, Standley Chasm and Palm Valley.
