Its obvious a lot of photo shop is used for the post card photos of Ayers rock. Yes its big but its not as red and not surrounded by desert! If your looking for red sand dunes and post card photos, this is not the place to go! More

Uluru is a fair journey from anywhere in coastal Australia, e.g. a 3-hour flight from Sydney. But it's certainly worth the trip. It is a very welcome change from the major cities and beaches on the coast, and it really provides a deeper cultural history to Australia than I found from visiting a couple of the major cities (Sydney and...

I went on the Rock Tour a couple of weeks ago and it was by far one of my most memorable and amazing experiences from my Travels around Australia and New Zealand. My tour guide was very intelligent and passionate about aboriginal culture, geology and flora and fauna, we saw some amazing wildlife including lizards, some kangaroos and wedge Tail... More

It was an awesome experience seeing Uluru glow at dawn. It was cloudy the day we were there but the sun peaked through the clouds for a few minutes and it was fantastic. More

We did a tour to Uluru as part of our stay at Longitude 131. It was amazing. Uluru is awe inspiring. It's taller than the Eiffel Tower, and extremely mystical. You leave with a real sense of how awesome nature is, and an appreciation for Aboriginal culture. It was amazing. More

The atmosphere, the colour and the clear light were magical. A once in a lifetime experience. You dont need to stay more than a few nights as little else to do but do try and get there in if Oz. We were fortunate to fly in on a clear day and to see the rock pop into view as you... More

Without a doubt, a visit to Uluru (Ayers Rock) is mandatory if you're in the area. You can't miss it - it rises large over the surrounding flat land. If you go with a knowledgable guide (we used SETI Tours, which was excellent), you'll be able to make sense out of the various natural and man-made areas that you'll see.... More

Majestic, bigger that imagined and worth the trip according to the 14 year old who isn't impressed easily. Just be aware that climbing the rock is offensive to the indigenous folk and not always open depending on winds. More
