Uluru (Ayers Rock)

Highlights

Uluru is one of Australia’s most iconic landmarks! Rising 348 metres above the desert, this giant red rock is millions of years old and has deep cultural significance for the Anangu people. Explore walking trails around the base to see ancient rock art and learn the stories of this sacred place.

Nearby, visit Kata Tjuta (The Olgas), a group of giant rock formations. Stay overnight and watch the colours of Uluru change at sunrise or sunset – it’s a magical sight you’ll never forget.

Adult Supervision Recommended

The desert environment can be challenging, so always hike with an adult and bring plenty of water.
