...and what a magnicent rock it is. I was sceptical about going miles out of my way to see what some only describe as "a rock in the middle of no where". I think because I didn't expect much, I didn't have great expections about the whole Ayers rock experience. However I loved it. I don't think I would have... More

Uluru or sometimes referred to Ayer's Rock is one of the must see attractions of central Australia. The sunsets are spectacular and if you are lucky enough to time your trip in the rainy season, you won't be disappointed with the spectacular site of cascading water over shimmering rock. The best time to take photos is sun set, the colours... More

A great tour guide, John, from APT made our walks and views of the rock a great experience. His knowledge of the local history and stories made it all the more interesting. More

We visited Uluru during our roadtrip from Darwin to Adalaide. Its definitely worth seeing and after having seen many pictures and tv programs featuring Ayres Rock its still an impressive sight to see. We were lucky when we visited as there weren't to many tourists but the sun was only out in spurts. Didn't rain though. We did The Mereenie... More

Ok. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I've seen it, it's extremely impressive, but I have to wonder whether it was really worth coming all this way for... You will have to pay to enter the park – we paid $50 for the car and the two of us, which gave us 3 days entrance. You get a useful little... More

Whether it be sunrise, midday or sunset Uluru has many changing faces. The walk is not open every day as it is governed mostly by the weather which includes the winds that surround Uluru which can make climbing at times too dangerous. If you get the chance to see it from the air it is truly amazing!!! Pack yourself some... More

I was awestruck by this 'rock'. From the moment I saw it as we arrived by plane I just couldn't get enough of seeing it. There is a sprituality about this place and a feeling of wonderment. As you walk around the base every step gives you a different aspect. There are informative plaques along the walk enhancing your understanding... More

We agree there is a very special feeling about the park and working alongside the traditional owners we try to tell some of its unique stories and history to visitors. Thanks for sharing your respect for the traditional owners. Regards Tanya, Parks Australia More

At first we tried walking the mala walk, the popular and short walk. After finishing the mala walk, I said to my husband, "Let's go on the Base Walk, I think I can do it." Walking around the Ayer's Rock(=Uluru) is the Base Walk. After finishing I bought a bottle keeper, which is written I walked around Uluru. I really... More

Uluru is really worth seeing but don't go with the Rock tour. We were there in March 2012. It was raining a lot during the 3 days of the tour and we had to sleep in the toilets during this trip as the area we were supposed to sleep (outside under a small shelter) was flooded and the guide (actually...

This would have to be one of the most beautiful places I have been to. To climb the rock was the most amazing experience of my life. You reach the top of the chain and sit down and look back to the carpark and everything is so tiny and you are only half way there. The trek across the top... More
