Every time I miss you, I fall into a star in the sky, so I have this wild star. I love you once and I will raise a trace of light on it. Then I will have this starry sky - Uluru wilderness starlight. Uluru is the name of the aborigines for this boulder. Ayers Rock is the name that came later for the whites. Uluru is a huge monolithic rock, about 3 kilometers long, 2 kilometers wide, 350 meters high, and the circumference is close to 10 kilometers. Steeply close to the vertical rock wall, the huge size makes everything around it very small.

Sunset Splendor at Uluru
My visit to Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, situated in the heart of Australia's Red Centre, was a profound encounter with one of the world's most iconic natural landmarks. This massive sandstone monolith, sacred to the indigenous Anangu people, stands as a testament to the ancient cultural heritage and spiritual significance of the Australian Outback.
Witnessing sunset at Uluru was an experience that transcended mere sightseeing. As the sun dipped below the horizon, the rock transformed through a mesmerizing palette of reds, oranges, and purples, each moment more captivating than the last. The shifting colors against the vast, open sky created a spectacle that connected me to the land in an unexpectedly deep way.
Exploring the base of Uluru on a guided walk provided insight into its geological formations, ancient rock art, and the stories and traditions that make it a place of pilgrimage for the Anangu. Respecting the requests of the traditional owners, I refrained from climbing Uluru, instead finding immense value in the stories and the stark beauty of the surrounding landscape.
The cultural center near Uluru offered further exploration into the area's significance, with exhibits on Anangu culture, art, and history. Learning about the traditional ways of life and the land's importance to its people added layers of meaning to my visit.
Staying overnight in the national park allowed me to witness the equally stunning sunrise, where the play of light and shadow over the desert landscape was breathtaking. The quiet of the early morning, with the sounds of nature as a backdrop, was a serene start to the day.
Preparation for the desert climate is key, with wide-brimmed hats, sunscreen, and plenty of water essential for daytime exploration. The stark changes in temperature from day to night also necessitated warm clothing for the chilly evenings.
Uluru's majesty, combined with the cultural depth and natural beauty of its surroundings, made my visit an unforgettable journey into Australia's heart. It was a reminder of the timeless connection between land, culture, and spirituality that defines this iconic Australian landmark.

If you’re in Australia, you have to visit Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park in Northern Territory. This stunning rock formation can be found right in the heartland of The Outback and is surrounded by springs, watering holes and caves. The rock, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is considered sacred to the Aboriginal people living in the area and is thus full of fascinating history. Visit the culture center to discover more about the ancient rock paintings. For an extra bonus, join a sunrise or sunset tour to see the rock change colors with the sun. We visited on the sunset tour and enjoyed complimentary snacks and bubbly while taking in the beauty of the rock at sunset. Note that as of October 2019, park visitors are no longer able to climb the rock so as to respect its sacred status. #wintergetaway #australia #uluru #outback

In Australia, in addition to the bright sunshine, the beautiful beaches and the Great Barrier Reef, there is also a world-famous quiet place "Uluru" boulders.
This listens to some strange names, but it represents the other side of Australia's fascination - the distant, mysterious indigenous culture and the rough, wild and original beauty!
Because it has been given the totem meaning by the indigenous people, it is hailed by the locals as the heart of Australia, also known as the navel of the world; it is said to have been 500 million years old, it is to see Australia North The mysterious preferred place of the Territory; it was named by the BBC as one of the 50 places that must be visited.

In the movie "Calling Love in the Center of the World", Kentaro came to Uluru, the center of the world, in order to realize the dream of his ex-girlfriend Aki. A very sad movie that attracted me to come here.
In order to respect local customs, we do not climb Uluru. 35 km from Uluru, it is Kata Tjuta, also known as the Oka Stone Array, and is also a sacred place for Aboriginal people. Some even think it is more magnificent than Uluru.
We chose the Kata Tjuta Wind Valley Loop, which is 7.4 km away. There is a family of four with us, warm and loving. Although the difficulty factor is the highest in all walking routes in Uluru, it is still suitable for foreigners.
It is true that in the center of this world, I seem to hear the sounds from the depths of my heart and call my dreams. How familiar is this scene, I feel like I have been there, let me kneel down and worship the center of the world.

Longitude 131 East 131° is a geographical location and the name of a luxury five-star tent hotel adjacent to the Uluru Rock in central Australia. The exact coordinates of the hotel are 131° east longitude and 23° south latitude. The
white dome is nestled in the green of the desert, and the streamlined canvas roof hangs from the middle, which is particularly eye-catching in the red desert, occasionally creating the illusion of being separated. In the red desert, there are 15 tents, each tent can only accommodate up to 2 guests, which means that the hotel can accommodate up to 30 guests per night.
The interior decoration style is very simple, the color is simple and natural, try to use fiber products, all kinds of furnishings in the classic colonial style mixed with modern elements, unobtrusive simplicity and luxury. The 15 rooms are completely self-contained, with a unique layout and excellent privacy. Guests who live here can open the curtains to see the scenery with great ease, and no other guests will see the room, let alone the uninvited guests in the empty desert.

Uluru has a lovely name, but has a huge body, as the world's largest single rock. When I took a helicopter flight and watched yesterday, I was amazed at nature. I attended the Tali Wiru dinner last night. There are only 20 places in a day, which is to dine in the open space in Uluru. In the darkness, the world is no longer given to the light, but to the partners in the dark. And this red wasteland. The Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, whose geographical structure, rare flora and fauna and extraordinary natural beauty are fully affirmed. The traditional value system of the traditional owner of Uluru, Anangu, has been affirmed. The Anan ancients are one of the oldest ethnic groups in the world. Uluru is the largest monolithic rock in the world (the size is huge, just a single stone). It is imposing, like a natural monument that transcends time and space. It stands out on the wilderness and exudes fascinating brilliance in the dazzling sunlight.

Holding the large envelope of the filming permit, we drove into the secret of the Northern Territory of Australia, Kata Tjuta National Park. The 36 red giant rocks have turned into a choppy look after hundreds of millions of years of weathering, surrounded by soft tin scorpions and three-toothed scorpions. The crimson rock pattern is beautiful and silent, carefully guarding the secrets of the indigenous Anan ancients. Near noon, the temperature rose forty degrees.
Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is an internationally recognized World Heritage Site. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a heritage of nature.
