Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park

I loved this place. It's so picturesque. I drove 5 hours from Alice Springs and the route was pretty cool too.

Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park is one of the world's greatest natural wonders. Not only is it a spectacular natural formation, Uluṟu is a deeply spiritual place. At 348 m high, Uluṟu is one of the largest monoliths in the world. The surrounding landscape is around 550 million years old. Often referred to as the heart of the Red Centre, Uluṟu is one of Australia's most recognizable landmarks. For the local Aborigines, Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park is of particular cultural importance and is also a World Heritage Site. As this rock formation hides ancient wisdom and diverse plant and animal life. Discover the impressive landscape. There are more than 100 cultural activities in the region. Uluru can be reached by direct flights from several Australian airports and via Alice Springs Airport.

Something all Aussies should see. The Rock is a massive thing - especially to walk around. Uluru is a magical spot and really worth the effort. Not far to drive from your Motel. Take water and good shoes AND a hat. And a camera:)

Hmm, yes, I see this is literally the biggest lump of rock on Earth. And this is one signle rock. Taller than the Burj Khalifa. The only thing is that it is sort of hard to get to, really only viable by plane or car. Overall noice.

Impressive place, we felt emotional when we visited Uluru, undoubtedly a spiritual place and special significance to the traditional landowners, Yankunytjatjara and Pitjantjatara people. Uluru is enormous, like what it would feel like swimming under Sydney Harbour Bridge, and the heat and the air so dry, and there not much sound, no birds or car traffic, quiet still and dusty.however the conditions gave us a feel for what living outback must be like - tough. How Aboriginal people survived out here for thousands of years is fascinating. Luckily for us, we stayed in the Outback Pioneer lodge, air-con, and ate at the restaurant five star dinners with cold beer and fine wine. We visited the Aboriginal information facility and booked a tour with a Aboriginal guide and listened fascinated to his to stories about the Rock and its people. We chose not to climb the Uluru to respect the wishes of the traditional owners, instead we hired a car and drove out to Uluru lookouts at sunrise and sunset, to take our photographs- there were so many flies, we had to wear nets over our heads! But we didn't care, the adventure is so moving, so unforgettable. A visit to Australia must include a trip Outback to Uluru and its people.

There are so many ways to go to the park guided tours bus Segway bike we traveled their in a hire car. One thing you need to know is You must pass through a check in point and purchase a pass, this is about $38 each person which enables you daily entry for 3 days. There is a map of the area which will point out best viewing areas, car parks walking tracks and restrooms very handy. There are free talks at Uluru every morning to check out or you can just go it on your own. Sunset and sunrise are very popular and can get crowded.it is so worth a visit to see the rocks up close and experience the size and beauty.

The officer at the culture centre was very helpful and informative. The rangers were very helpful when assistance was required by a follow traveller in distress.
The were also very knowledgeable of the area. And compassionate to our needs. Thank you

Fantastic National Park; great facilities such as picnic areas, well maintained pathways & toilets. The sceneries are absolutely worth the travel distances. The Staff are very friendly.

Great Australian attraction where you can learn about our indigenous culture and the significance of the rock formations

If you haven't already been here, go. It's a must see in Australia and very spiritual, raw, beautiful place. Heaps to see and do there, from the Georges to walks to the dot painting gallery and gift store and small Cafe. Awesome place, hop on a plane and get your butt to the centre of Aus. Don't forget Kata Tjuta either, equally as beautiful as Uluru.

Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is so beautiful and break-taking. There is nothing physically stopping you from climbing Uluru, but please be respectful and don’t climb it. This is sacred place to the natives. The size of Kata Tjuta is so nice, but I believe not as many people visit this - only Uluru. The Olgas are worth a visit.

One of the most wonderful places that I've been to and a definite highlight for anybody traveling Australia. When visiting, I suggest you be respectful as this one of the holy of Australia. PLEASE DON'T CLIMB IT!

The three-day pass For unlimited entries (need to be out by 19: 30) of the park is 38AU$ for adults.
Great place to hike and sightsee.
The Uluru base walk is moderate and about 10k, make sure you use the loo before the walk. Drink plenty of water, there are a two water stations, one at the start and one at the mid-point. Definitely go and do the Mala walk where a ranger takes you and explains the history and stories of the Uluru, very fascinating. It’s available everyday at 10am at the car park meeting point.
The Olga has two routes. The Walpa gorge is quite moderate and doesn’t take long; it also has a nice sunset viewing area nearby. The valley of the winds walk on the other hand is quite difficult in some areas but would be okay for most people. (Check out the photo with the route)

We walked around the rock Great place, but pace yourself
It's a long walk. Lots to see in the park like the Olga's as well. If your a walker or explorer then this park is for you. Take plenty of drinks and walking shoes
I did it in sandles but I have hard feet. All good Jim

Formed some 550 million years ago and sacred to the native Pitjantjatjara peoples; this ancient, enormous sandstone monolith in Central Australia is one of the world’s most iconic and important ancient monoliths. Famous for its rust coloured hue and ancient aboriginal history, it’s also one of Australia’s most beloved and important historical sites.

Magnificent, a wonder of the natural world and a place to be respected. Look closely as there is a lot to take in here, ancient and beautiful. Walking around this monolith you'll find rock paintings done by people thousands of years ago. It's a truly surprising place to visit.

Deep in the heart of Australia's Red Centre, Uluru (formerly Ayers Rock), is one of the most photographed natural wonders in the country. The striking red monolith forms the centerpiece of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, a World Heritage Area jointly managed by Parks Australia and the traditional landowners, the Aṉangu people. Uluru, meaning "shadowy place" in the local aboriginal dialect, rises to a height of 348 meters from the surrounding plain, with most of its bulk hidden beneath the earth's surface.

Photos don't do this place justice, its absolutely massive, such amazing colours, the walks are great, the people are great, the views to die for, I can't wait to come back and visit again, walks are all pretty easy, kids should be fine, but pack plenty of water and a good pair of shoes, quite a bit of loose gravel on the olgas walk and both were windy and very hot,

Well worth the trip up from Vic, will be back 100%

A must see place in Australia. Just amazing. It’s about 40-45 minutes drive from Ayer’s Rock to Kata Tjuta. In Ayer’s Rock, there’s a loop walk of around 10.5 km which takes 3.5 hours. Please take enough water.

Ayers Rock really shocked me! This huge rock gave me a huge shock. You can see this huge rock from far away. When I stand under the rock, I feel that I am very small. Maybe I will come the second time, the third time or even more times! It is a pity that it is not allowed to climb Ayers Rock, but I can understand that this is to protect this masterpiece of nature. Well worth a visit, even without climbing!
