Ayers Rock

An incredible journey to the outback. Such a beautiful part of the world.

4 DAYS IN AYERS ROCK

DO

Hire a Car: Definitely need to hire a car so make sure you organise before you arrive

Ride a Bike: Hire a bike through Outback Cycling and ride around the base of Uluru

Walk Kata Tjuta: drive to Kata Tjuta and choose your walk - incredibly spectacular

Experience an Uluru Sunset: pack the car with drinks and dips and head to one of the many Uluru sunset viewing car parks off the main road to Uluru, open the boot and enjoy a sunset like no other

Field of Light: incredible light exhibition covering seven football fields by the celebrated artist Bruce Munro. We chose the sunrise tour which we loved with coffee and hot chocolates as the sun rose over Uluru

Helicopter Tour of Uluru and Kata Tjuta: a must do - we booked through PHS (Professional Helicopter Services) who were great

Sunrise Camel Ride: Amazing and another must do - we booked through Uluru Camel Tours

Arnguli Grill at the Desert Sands Hotel: lots of Australian produce and local Indigenous flavours using native spices, grains and seeds.
