Ayers Rock aka Uluru
What can we say about this monolith that has not already been said. It is probably the most photographed rock in the world. There is no way around it, you must do it. Ayers Rock, or Uluru, as it is now known, has it's own airport and the modern facilities of a small town ranging from Backpackers, campgrounds to the delightful 'Sails in the Desert' resort. Many tour companies are based here so the hardest choice is deciding which tour to take. The guides will have you enthralled as they reel off stories and legends of the rock, one by one. The changing colours of the rock at dawn and sunset will leave a lasting impression, it is 18 kilometres away from the resort compound, and 461 kilometres south of Alice Springs.
The surrounding area also has some of the best sights that the Territory has to offer, Kings Canyon, The Olgas, and the Valley of the Winds. Just do it.
