The world's largest monolith - Uluru🇦🇺 8 years ago, when I was gradually approaching Uluru on the bus, I felt very excited and could feel my body filled with power. Later I found out that Uluru is a place of energy🌕. Although I have been to many places of energy, only Uluru can make me feel the power personally. I have always wanted to come to this special place again. I'm really happy to be here again.♡ Uluru is 348 meters high, taller than the Tokyo Tower. If you look closely at the fourth photo, you will find a small figure, hoping to feel the enormity of Uluru💭. You can overlook Uluru by helicopter, you can ride a unicycle around Uluru, and you can touch it (only where it is allowed). The place to stay is the five-star hotel 'Sails in the Desert'. The hotel is very beautiful and has a swimming pool. The last photo shows the five stars forming the Southern Cross, which is very cute🫶🏼🌌. ▼ 📷 ① ② ③ ④ ⑤ ⑥ ⑦ ⑧ ⑨ 🐨Australia Travel Summary

We spent only three days in Yulara NT, Australia. it was very hot and dry there as it was in Summer time. However, it was one of our memorable adventures! Uluru Segway tour was one of our lists. It took us about two hours to get around this amazing big rock on Segway. The guide tours were very friendly and professional. They picked us up from the hotel at 5:30 am and also provided us lovely breakfast. the tour finished around 2:30 pm. The cost was $178 AUD / person. was a bit pricey but worth every seconds! #uluru #yulara #segwaytour #australiatravel #australia #adventuretrip #adventure #couplestrip #couple

we had so much fun riding the camel for the first time! it’s like hopping on the train because each camel will be connected to each other! Each camels has its own personality, which some can be very naughty! Its totally safe and enjoyable. one thing was that my bum was so sore after almost 2 hours ride 😂. Snack and drinks also included in this trip! I’m not so sure about the price but it’s about $135 AUD / person including pick-up and drop-off from a hotel. worth it! #camel #camelride #uluru #adventuretrip #adventureday #adventure #couplestrip #couplegoals #couple #australiatravel #australia

#australiatravel #ulurusunset #uluru #outback #ayersrock #aboriginals A trip to the Outback would not be complete without seeing the rock crop called Uluru (or Ayers Rock), which has always been sacred to the aborigines of Australia. A good six hour ride from Alice Springs one way (yes, that is half a day on return), either join a local tour or drive and aim to stay at the resort there. It takes some serious planning because the tours from Alice Springs do not depart every day of the week. It was a wonder to come close to this sacred place where a few tribes inhabited. There were specific areas dedicated to the women of the tribes and those areas could not be photographed. Also there were rock paintings there showing how the tribes communicated vital survival information. Lots of legends also arose to interpret the features on the surface of the rock. The tour ended with a sunset barbecue with frontal views of the rock.

Rising dramatically from the surrounding desert, this colossal monolith is not just a natural wonder; it is a sacred symbol of ancient Indigenous culture, and standing before it felt like connecting with something both ancient and timeless. The first glimpse of Uluru from a distance left me in awe, its massive red face glowing in the morning light, an otherworldly sight that seemed to shift with every step closer. The size of the rock is simply astonishing—at over 340 meters high, it towers above the flat desert landscape, offering a breathtaking visual contrast against the endless blue sky. I spent my time exploring the base of Uluru, walking along its winding paths and taking in the intricate details of the rock’s surface, which is adorned with ancient engravings and paintings that tell stories of the Anangu people, the traditional owners of the land. Each turn of the walk revealed something new—a hidden waterhole, a rock formation shaped by centuries of weathering, and glimpses into the spiritual significance this sacred place holds. As the sun began to set, the magic of Uluru truly came to life. The giant rock shifted in color, from deep red to fiery oranges and purples, as the sky above transformed into a canvas of vibrant hues. Watching the sun dip below the horizon while Uluru stood as a silent sentinel was a powerful moment of tranquility and awe. At night, the star-studded sky above Uluru was simply mesmerizing. The Outback’s clear, crisp air allowed for the most vivid view of the Milky Way I had ever seen. The peace and stillness of the desert made it the perfect place to reflect and appreciate the immense beauty of the natural world.

Uluru, a mysterious rock in the heart of Australia, stands quietly in the desert like a relic from ancient times. It has witnessed the passage of time and the elements, and its color changes with the time of day and the sunlight, from soft pink in the morning to deep red in the evening. It is like a natural palette. 🌅 🔸 The Color Magic of a Miracle The beauty of Uluru lies not only in its massive size but also in its magical color-changing ability. In the morning, Uluru is a soft pink, like a newborn. As the sun sets, it turns a fiery red, leaving you breathless. This color change is a unique visual feast every day. 🔹 The Mysterious Legends of the Indigenous People For the Anangu people, Uluru is a sacred place, a resting place for the souls of their ancestors. The rock is covered with ancient paintings and mysterious symbols that tell stories of the past.

#bestsunset Experiencing a sunset at Uluru is breathtaking! As the sun sets, I watched the rock change colors—from deep red to orange to purple—as it dips below the horizon, creating an unforgettable moment in the Outback. Getting to Uluru is quite easy from Melbourne and Sydney. I took a direct Jetstar flight from Melbourne, which took about three hours. Upon arrival, shuttle buses were waiting outside to take me directly to Ayers Rock Resort. The resort offers various types of accommodations, from budget to high-end options. I took a morning flight and arrived around noon. After a short rest, I joined the Uluru sunset tour (pre-booked on the Ayers Rock Resort website). The tour took me to a few spots around Uluru before heading to the Sunset Viewing Area, which offers great panoramic views. They also provided light drinks and snacks, though I was too focused on photography to enjoy them. 👌Recommended Tour: 4-5 hours, including sunset viewing 👌Recommended Season: I prefer winter when the weather is dry, cold in the mornings and evenings, and comfortable during the day, so you won’t feel too hot.

A college student spent a week alone at Uluru, and here are my honest thoughts. First of all, I'm glad I went. I spent over 100,000 yen, but it's one of those places worth visiting in your lifetime that money can't buy. Standing on the vast land, you realize how wide the world is. The week I spent at Uluru was unforgettable. There's a world here that you haven't seen yet. Here are some tips for those planning to visit: - Don't join a tour → If you're in a group of two or more, rent a car; if you're alone, I recommend taking the bus. - The sunset is more beautiful at Kata Tjuta → The sun sets in the direction of Kata Tjuta. - Look down often → You'll see lizards, birds you've never seen before, and insects different from those in Japan. There are various creatures to observe. - 3 days and 2 nights is ideal → Uluru-Kata Tjuta, Kings Canyon. There's nothing else. - If you're on a budget, bring simple cooking utensils → Groceries aren't that expensive if you buy them at the supermarket, but the kitchen lacks cooking utensils (knife, cutting board, fork). Follow these tips and just enjoy yourself. Have the best vacation ever.

On my second visit to Australia, I chose to travel to Uluru, driven by my desire to learn more about the rich Aboriginal culture of the continent. Plus, Uluru (or Ayers Rock) has long been on my travel wish list! ❤️ Getting to Uluru is fairly simple, as there are direct flights from Sydney and Melbourne. It only took me three hours to get there, though the flight wasn’t exactly cheap. 😄 The most convenient place to stay is the Ayers Rock Resort, which offers several accommodation options to suit different budgets. As a solo traveler, I opted for the most affordable option—a dormitory. It was very clean, with a spacious shared bathroom area for both men and women. Despite sharing with 15 other people, I had my own private bed, which was perfect for the price I paid. The Ayers Rock Resort is divided into zones based on the type of accommodation, and you can either walk or take the free shuttle bus to get around. There’s also a visitor center in the middle of the resort, which is easily accessible by walking or shuttle. If you don’t want to venture far, there are a few great spots within the resort to watch the sunrise and sunset over Uluru. Here’s my itinerary (I didn’t have a car, but if you do, that would make getting around even easier!): Day 1: Check in, then consider an afternoon sunset tour to Kata Tjuta. Day 2: Trek around Uluru (you can book a tour or use the hop-on-hop-off bus). In the evening, consider booking a stargazing tour—but try to avoid nights with a full moon, as the bright moonlight can obscure the view of the galaxy. Day 3: Take a tour to another location. I chose the King’s Canyon tour, which was breathtaking. Day 4: Go on a sunrise tour to Uluru (or watch from the Ayers Rock Resort). Afterward, check out and catch your flight back to Melbourne. I think best time to visit this place is winter :) Autumn and spring are also good time.#australiatrip

Amazing glow as the sunsets over Uluru. Once in a lifetime experience 🌟#uluru #ulurusunset

Standing before Uluru at dawn, I was struck by the sheer magnitude of its presence. The desert air was cool, and the sky slowly transitioned from a deep navy to soft hues of pink and orange, painting the iconic monolith in a golden light. As the sun crept higher, the rock’s color shifted, almost as if it were breathing with the rhythm of the day. The silence was profound, broken only by the distant call of birds and the crunch of sand underfoot. Walking along the base, I felt a deep sense of connection with the land, as though each step was a step back in time, aligning with the ancient stories of the Anangu people. The detailed rock art on the cave walls, telling stories that have been passed down through generations, added to the mystique and significance of the place. It was humbling to witness this living culture, so intricately tied to the landscape. The climb to the lookout point was challenging but rewarding, offering a panoramic view of the surrounding desert. From that vantage point, Uluru seemed to pulse with life, a stark contrast against the flat, endless horizon. The vastness of the desert was overwhelming, yet the serenity it offered was unmatched. As the day ended and the sun dipped below the horizon, casting Uluru into shadow, the sky filled with stars. The Milky Way stretched across the sky, and the quiet of the night settled in. It was a moment of reflection, a time to appreciate the enduring beauty and sacredness of Uluru, leaving me with memories that would last a lifetime. #australia #uluru

This time I want to introduce Uluru, a place in central Australia. I flew from Melbourne to Ayres Rock Airport, and the flight only took about three hours. Seeing the huge rock Uluru on the plane is very different from seeing it on the ground. Only by personal experience can you know how shocking it is. I also can’t imagine how the local indigenous people survived for generations in a vast desert using waterholes and caves under the protection of large rocks formed thousands of years ago. During the three-day trip to Uluru, because I didn’t know how to drive, I rented a car and had a tour guide to explain the whole journey. However, it was the winter off-season, so it became a private tour. The sunrise and sunset scenery at Uluru are very different. The sunrise is orange-red and the sunset is fiery red, which is very special. Unfortunately, Uluru can no longer be climbed due to too many accidents, so we decided to join the Kings Canyon English tour group. Climbing the Valley of the Kings is not easy either. Starting at four in the morning, each person has to carry 2 liters of drinking water up the valley, and has to climb 500 stairs in the desert under the scorching sun before starting the official 4-hour hike. However, the scenery is really unique, and you can see natural rocks and dried fossils, coupled with the beautiful view of the Eden Pool, this trip is especially suitable for those who like mountain climbing. But there are some travel tips I can share with you: 1. It is best to go to Uluru in winter, otherwise you need to wear a mosquito mask to prevent mosquitoes from flying into your mouth 2. You must drink plenty of water and keep it from your body, otherwise you will easily become dehydrated. 3. Some hotels have swimming pools. Don’t make a fuss like me. Although it is a desert, they also have abundant underground water resources. 4. Take adequate sun protection measures, otherwise your skin color will soon become that of the aborigines. 5. The weather is really dry, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is also very large. It is better to apply skin care oil and prepare a coat. 6. Because Uluru is rich in minerals, it is best not to wear white or light-colored shoes, otherwise the color will remain on the shoes forever. 7. The food types are the same as other places in Australia, but if you are interested, you can also try their flavor food such as kangaroo, crocodile or emu Emu ;) I hope you like to visit different natural environments as much as I do. #100WAYS TO TRAVEL #Desert #Sunrise
