Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, is a large sandstone rock formation in the southern part of the Northern Territory in central Australia.
It lies 335 km (208 mi) South West of the nearest large town, Alice Springs, 450 km (280 mi) by road.
Uluru is sacred to the Pitjantjatjara Anangu, the Aboriginal people of the area. The area around the formation is home to an abundance of springs, waterholes, rock caves and ancient paintings.
Uluru is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Uluru and Kata Tjuta, also known as the Olgas, are the two major features of the Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park.

Photography Tips

Best time to photograph this sacred site is at sunset, especially from the sunset viewing platform or at sunrise at a distance, there are several points around the park.

Travel Information

How to get there is a personal decision, There are flights from the Australian main cities direct to Ayers Rock, or depending the location of the traveller in Australia, a road trip is another option, however, this is a long trip because this park is located in the centre of the country.
There are lots of flies in the area, hence wearing a hat with a net will be advisable.
