Uluru, commonly known by its English name, Ayers Rock, is the iconic red rock formation and sacred aboriginal site in the vast Australian outback.
Nestled in the Northern Territory’s The Red Centre of Australia, it’s one of the most iconic landmarks in the country and one of the main reasons to visit this dry and arid landscape.
For many visitors to Australia, Uluru is at the top of their Aussie bucket list, and it’s easy to see why. Uluru is not just about the red rock formation, it’s actually part of the wider Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, and there are many things to do in Uluru that you may not know about.
But what are they? This guide will tell you everything you need to know about what to do at Uluru.
Is Uluru Worth Visiting?
Uluru has been a very spiritual place to the local Anangu people, the aboriginal/indigenous people/traditional owner of the area, for thousands of years. Ask most people who visit and spiritual experience is the word they often use to describe it.
Made of arkosic sandstone, Uluru stands 348 meters high and is taller than The Eiffel Tower and 2.5 times the height of Sydney Harbour Bridge. It’s a massive monolith and an incredible site to behold, not to mention it’s sacred.
For these reasons, Uluru is 100% worth visiting.
How to get to Uluru
Uluru is not an easy day trip from anywhere. It’s really at the center of Australia in the middle of the desert. The nearest major town is Alice Springs, which is at least a four hour drive. You can either fly direct to Alice Springs, or there are some direct flights from major Australian airports into Uluru (but usually expensive).
Most visitors drive from Alice Springs enjoying an road trip adventure along the Red Centre Way. You can rent cars from Alice Springs here or catch a luxury bus transfer here.
You can join one of many organized tours from Alice Springs.
