Each light stem is handcrafted, recyclable and entirely solar-powered — how neat is that? Whilst Uluru is the main icon here, you should also make time to explore the surrounding area. The Aborigines believe that these domes are home to the spirit energies and still use this area for religious ceremonies. Both provide unique landscapes and epic views!

We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. Things to do. Cultural Centre. Plan your trip. Buy your pass. Australian aboriginal culture is recognised as the oldest in the world, and at Uluru you can learn about the Anangu tribe, the traditional owners of the land.
The Cultural Centre is a great place to start and will give you an insight into their ancient way of life. You can also catch a free music and dance performance at the Ayers Rock Resort — and even join in at the end. One of the best ways to see the area is on foot. The most popular walking trail runs around the base of the rock, but further afield you can visit secluded waterholes, rock art sites and soaring gorges.
It was physically challenging at times involved a bit of climbing, but the views were worth every drop of sweat. The Anangu people group is one of the oldest cultures known to humans, dating back as far as 60, years. They have been the traditional owners of Uluru and its surroundings for over 30, years. If you are at all interested in the aboriginal culture, Uluru and Kata Tjuta are the best places to learn more about their traditions.
Here you can admire the unique art, listen to incredible stories, and observe their cultural performances. Getting to Uluru is easy, as there are a couple of direct flights daily from every capital of Australia.
You have two options for booking flights: fly directly to Yullara, a small town right next to the Uluru and Kata Tjuta National Park, or fly to Alice Springs. In Yullara, there is really only one resort, called Ayers Rock Resort , offering accommodation for all budgets, from camping to luxury hotels.
On their website, you will find the necessary information about tours, activities, history, itineraries, restaurants etc. Honestly, this was the only website I used when planning our trip. You can also opt to fly into Alice Springs, which is the biggest town in the Australian outback, located about km north-west from Uluru. If you choose this route, you can stop at the Kings Canyon on your way to Uluru. Be warned that this hike is extremely dangerous.
The walls of Uluru are very steep, and there is no real path or shade from the heat. Not only is it unsafe, but the Anangu Aboriginals consider it disrespectful to hike Uluru. However, according to the recent news , it will be closed soon. Although beautiful, it is important to remember that the Australian outback has one of the harshest climates you can experience.
