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

📍 A large sandstone formation located in central Australia, in the southern part of the Northern Territory, within the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. The giant rock is called: Ayers Rock The local aborigines call it: Uluru 🔹Uluru, the largest single rock in the world, has stood quietly in the center of Australia for thousands of years. Scientists still cannot figure out the origin of the boulder. There are generally two hypotheses: Produced by geological movement Formed by falling space meteorites 🔸Uluru is regarded as a sacred place by the indigenous Anangu people. They believe that this rock is the place where their ancestors return and various gods and ancestors live here. When the ancestors created the world, they left their energy on the earth, and Uluru is the gathering place of all energy and spirit.
 🔹This is also the reason why the Aboriginal Anangu people do not like people to climb Uluru or take photos casually. ⭐️Uluru was listed as a World Cultural Heritage and Natural Heritage in 1987 and 1994 respectively. ♦️This red boulder became famous because of the Japanese drama "Crying Out Love in the Center of the World"! #Australia #NorthernTerritory #Uluru #CallingLoveInTheCenterOfTheWorld #Ayers Rock

Last time, we introduced the basic information of Uluru and some expensive self-funded activities. This time, we will continue to introduce the free beautiful scenery and noteworthy places of Uluru. Uluru's romantic sunrise and sunset are amazing. At sunrise, you can witness the first ray of sunlight shining on the red soil wilderness, and at sunset, you can enjoy the magnificent sunset scenery. In addition, at both times, you can see the ever-changing colors and light caused by the different sunlight hitting the Uluru rock, which is breathtaking. Of course, you don’t have to participate in the self-funded activities mentioned in the previous article to see such beautiful scenery. Those with limited budgets can also drive to the park by themselves or take the shuttle buses provided by the resorts to watch the sunrise and sunset for free. However, it is worth noting that the national park is generally open at 5:00 a.m. in the summer and from 6:00 to 6:30 a.m. in the winter. The sunrise time in the summer is approximately 5:45 a.m. and in the winter it is approximately 7:30 a.m., which means that there are only about 45 minutes from the opening of the park to sunrise. So every morning before dawn, you will find a long line of cars driving to the park and queuing up at its gate for admission. It is recommended to arrive at the entrance to queue up 30 minutes before the park opens (please allow time for a 25-kilometer drive from your accommodation to the park), because the traffic queue is too long, and after parking, you still have to walk a short distance to reach the observation deck. If you arrive too late, the advantageous positions in the front row will have been occupied. Similarly, the beautiful sunset can also be viewed from several observation decks, but please note that the park’s closing time is generally between 7:30 pm (in winter) and 9 pm (in summer), so remember to leave the park early after viewing the sunset. When you come to Uluru, in addition to watching the beautiful sunrise and sunset, there are also some special experiences for tourists to participate in, such as the famous local Sounds of Silence dinner, which is held in the wilderness, with dining facing the giant rock as a selling point. Visitors who have booked the Sound of Silence dinner will arrive at the venue before sunset and then drink a glass of champagne while watching the sunset, while there will also be performances of traditional Aboriginal instruments. After sunset, guests will have a three-course dinner, and after dinner they will be able to learn about the southern hemisphere starry sky, the Southern Cross, the zodiac and other constellations from the tour guide. The entire dinner lasted 4 hours and cost approximately AUD229. Another famous paid activity is the Uluru Field of Light, an art installation designed by internationally renowned light artist Bruce Munro. The exhibition uses more than 50,000 solar bulbs that start lighting up after sunset, illuminating an area of ​​desert equivalent to four football fields. The art exhibition was originally scheduled to end on December 31, 2020, but due to popular demand, the exhibition will be extended indefinitely to give travelers plenty of time to plan their trip to Uluru. Tickets for the Wilderness Starlight Tour are AUD44 and are open every day after sunset. We must remind everyone here that since 4 pm on October 25, 2019, Uluru has officially launched a climbing ban. Humans are permanently prohibited from climbing the giant rock to respect the beliefs and cultural traditions of the local Aboriginal Anangu people. The Anangu people believe that Uluru is the sacred place of origin of Aboriginal culture. However, the influx of thousands of tourists from home and abroad has not only changed the way of life of the Aboriginal community, but also caused varying degrees of damage to Uluru. The giant rock is a very precious place for the indigenous people, like a church, but rude climbers trample on their holy places at will and show no respect for local culture. Many accidents and deaths also occur from time to time during the climbing. After decades of struggle, they have successfully fought for the permanent closure of the mountain, which is really the long-awaited good news. Finally, I have to mention the weather in Uluru. Australia is in the southern hemisphere, and its summer is from November to March. Uluru is located in the central desert. In the hottest summer, the temperature can reach 40 degrees, and the rainfall here is only about 40 mm, so the weather is very dry. You must pay attention to sun protection and moisturizing. Autumn in April is the best season to visit Uluru. It is warm during the day and cool at night, with an average temperature between 12 and 27 degrees. During this period, there is neither the heat of summer, nor the cold of winter, nor the showers of spring. It is the most suitable season for travel throughout the year. Choose a time now to travel to the center of the world! Finally, don’t forget to buy a fly net hood before you set off, otherwise you will definitely regret it.

Ayers Rock is a huge rock that is loved as a symbol of Australia! The sight of Ayers Rock standing alone in the desert is already impressive, but the power of seeing it up close is even more impressive than you can imagine. You will surely be overwhelmed by its majesty‼ ︎‼ ︎🪨 Until October 2019, it was possible to climb it, but now you can't climb it! ✈︎ーーーーーーーーーーーーーー✈︎ We are a couple living in Kansai who love to travel👫💕 We are looking for spots to introduce on our travels!

Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, is located in the southern part of the Northern Territory of Australia. It is famous for the large sandstone formation in the center. Since the sandstone contains more iron powder, the iron powder turns red after oxidation, making Uluru appear red. It is also listed as a World Heritage Site. #TravelCoolExperience#AttractionsPhotography Guide

Last year, I had the most incredible road trip to Uluru, Australia, and I have to say—it was the adventure of a lifetime. 🌄 I’ve always wanted to visit this iconic rock formation, and the journey turned out to be even more than I expected. If you're thinking of exploring the Red Centre, here's what I learned along the way! We began our trip in Alice Springs, where the excitement already started to build. The drive to Uluru was about 4-5 hours, but the stunning desert landscapes kept us entertained, and the endless blue sky made the journey feel endless and magical. 🌵 We made plenty of stops along the way to take photos, grab snacks (definitely try some Aussie Tim Tams), and just soak in the beauty of the outback. When we finally reached Uluru, it was like stepping into another world. The rock is even more magnificent in person, and you can feel the deep spiritual connection to the land. 🌅 We decided to do the Mala Walk around the base of Uluru, which was a stunning hike that took us through ancient caves and gave us a chance to learn about the area's cultural significance. If you’re into hiking, definitely don’t miss it—just be sure to carry plenty of water and wear sun protection! 🏞️ For a truly magical experience, we booked a hot air balloon ride at sunrise. Watching the sun rise over the desert while floating above the stunning landscape was surreal. I’d highly recommend this for anyone looking to add a little extra adventure to their trip. The views were jaw-dropping! 🎈 If you’re visiting Uluru, respect the cultural significance of the site to the Anangu people. Climbing Uluru is now prohibited, and I think it’s important to appreciate this natural wonder in a way that honors its deep cultural roots. After our hike and balloon ride, we took a short trip to Kata Tjuta (The Olgas), another incredible rock formation. The Valley of the Winds Walk here was challenging but so rewarding. It took us through some stunning desert landscapes, and the views were absolutely worth it. 🏜️ In the evenings, we stayed at a beautiful resort nearby. The night skies were clear, and we took full advantage of the stars. Don’t miss out on stargazing; the Milky Way looks incredible in the desert! 🌟 This road trip was an experience I’ll never forget—full of breathtaking landscapes, heart-stopping adventures, and moments of pure peace. 🌏 #australiaroadtrip

I finally went to Ayers Rock! ! I thought it was a little long for 2 nights and 3 days, but I actually wanted to stay a little longer. First of all, on the first day, I participated in the Ayers Rock sunset tour and enjoyed the view of Uluru while eating wine and cheese. This is interesting because the atmosphere is completely different in the morning, afternoon, and evening, so it's very exciting no matter when you see it✨ On the second day, I took a helicopter to see Uluru from above. It was impressive, but since it was my first helicopter ride, I was more scared, but it was a very valuable experience and I took a lot of photos😂 On the last day, I participated in the sunrise tour. This was the best. It was really cold in the morning, but the view of Uluru as the sun set was so beautiful that I will never forget it. I really wanted to climb it, but I can't do it now, but there are tours that walk around it, so why not try it?😊 ⚠️There are a lot of flies, so it's convenient to bring insect repellent spray as much as possible. There is only one supermarket, but it is very expensive, and there are only two restaurants, so it may be convenient to bring food in your suitcase yourself.

Ayers Rock = Uluru. Upon researching, I found that it is called 'Ayers Rock' in English and 'Uluru' in the Aboriginal language. It is one of the largest monoliths in the world. The name itself is impressive. The scenery during the day, evening, and night is each wonderful in its own way. The sunset, in particular, blends with the color of Ayers Rock, creating an amazing atmosphere. 📍Location: Lasseter Highway Yulara NT 0872 Australia ✈️Access: About 180 minutes from Sydney International Airport to Ayers Rock Airport

Uluru - Shout Out Your Love at the Red Center of the Earth💗 I finally made it to Uluru before the hottest season. Although I have seen countless photos of this big rock on social media, I was still shocked when I saw it in person! The rock changes color at sunset, which is amazing. Unfortunately, I didn't join the stargazing tour and missed the chance to take close-up photos of Uluru under the Milky Way. Some tips: 1️⃣ The highest temperature in Uluru is 35-36°C from October, so most day tours start at 4 am, which is really early! If you can't get up early, I suggest you go in winter. 2️⃣ You must stay at Ayers Rock Resort. The nearest town to Uluru, Alice Springs, is 500 km away, which is too far.

#getgoing2025 Uluru: Australia’s Sacred Red Rock Located in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park in the Northern Territory, Uluru (Ayers Rock) is one of Australia’s most iconic natural landmarks. This massive sandstone monolith rises 348 meters above the desert and holds deep cultural significance for the Anangu people, the area’s traditional owners. Highlights: • Sunrise & Sunset Views: Uluru glows in shades of red, orange, and purple as the light changes. • Base Walk: A 10.6 km trail around the rock offers close-up views of ancient rock art and caves. • Cultural Center: Learn about Anangu traditions, Dreamtime stories, and the significance of Uluru. • Field of Light: A stunning nighttime art installation by Bruce Munro, featuring 50,000 glowing bulbs. Tips: • Visit between May and September for cooler weather. • Respect the site’s cultural significance—climbing Uluru is not allowed. • Stay in Yulara (Ayers Rock Resort) for accommodations and tours. Uluru is a must-see destination, offering a deep connection to Australia’s Indigenous heritage and breathtaking desert landscapes.

#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.

I traveled around the end of September 2023. Australia is in the Southern Hemisphere It's the beginning of summer at Uluru (Ayers Rock) and the temperature exceeds 40℃ during the day⚠️ It's dangerous to be active during the day, so tours are concentrated in the morning and evening. The sunset tour is highly recommended✨ If you're confident in your physical strength, why not try climbing Kings Canyon🤩 Depending on the time of year, it's really hot and there are a lot of flies... But more than that, you'll be fascinated by the history of the indigenous people and the beautiful environment! #Australia #World Heritage Site

The world's first 5-day fully guided walking tour in the World Heritage Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. This all-inclusive experience connects two of the world's natural wonders - Uluru and Kata Tjuta. Small groups of up to 14 people will spend 5 days and 4 nights in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, learning about the ancient Anangu culture and history, getting in touch with nature, and staying in specially provided environmentally friendly accommodation facilities. Brett Godfrey has been working for nine years to bring this 54km hike to market. He describes the experience as “a desert journey deep into the heart of Australia, a walk connecting two great geological wonders, Kata Tjuta and Uluru.” “The journey began in 2015 when I walked 150 kilometres with traditional landowners from the South Australian border to Uluru seven days later. It was a great experience of my life and one that inspired me to share this cultural wonder in an accessible way with those willing to brave the desert and immerse themselves in Anangu history.” The multi-day experience begins in the shadow of Kata Tjuta’s massive dome and heads east, following remote desert tracks through a spectacular wilderness, across red sand dunes and through mulga woodlands. Over five days, participants will take part in dot painting art workshops and learn land stewardship practices while enjoying daily three-course dining experiences, several of which are served under a starry Milky Way night sky. “For much of the trip, visitors will hike routes that offer panoramic views of these two great rock formations, both relics of millions of years of Earth history. They will carry only their everyday backpacks, stay in amazing eco-friendly accommodation and be guided by the knowledge of people who have walked this land for tens of thousands of years,” explained Mr Godfrey. "The final destination is Uluru, a geological wonder that is closely linked to Aboriginal culture and an integral part of Australian identity." The Uluru-Kata Tjuta iconic walk will start in April 2026.

#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.

Uluru (Ayers Rock) is an iconic landmark of Australia, but there are many other attractions around Uluru. It is a special place where you can experience majestic nature and Aboriginal culture. Recommended points 1. Kata Tjuta (The Olgas): Located about 50 km from Uluru, Kata Tjuta has a unique landscape of 36 huge rocks. The rocks glow red at sunrise and sunset, creating a fantastical and mysterious atmosphere different from Uluru. 2.

Within Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, Aboriginal guided tours and art experiences are held, allowing you to experience deep history and spiritual culture. 3. Stargazing: Located in the middle of a vast desert, the air around Uluru is clear, and at night the sky is filled with stars. Especially on nights with a new moon, you can see the Milky Way clearly, and stargazing tours are also held. 4. Base Walk: The Base Walk is a 10km hiking trail that circles Uluru. Along the way, you will also see Aboriginal rock art and caves, so you can take your time to appreciate every detail of Uluru. 5.

Uluru, the center of the world If you save money, you can enjoy it surprisingly cheaply. Accommodation: from 4,800 yen Rental car: from 20,000 yen Admission fee: 3,800 yen Meals: self-catering at the supermarket I stayed at Uluru for a week for 100,000 yen including airfare from Brisbane!

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

#australiatrip Witnessing Uluru's majestic presence was a spiritual experience. This monolithic marvel, sacred to the indigenous Anangu people, radiates an otherworldly energy. As the sun set, Uluru transformed into a kaleidoscope of reds, oranges, and purples, its rugged texture glowing with an ethereal light. The surrounding landscape's vastness and silence amplified the rock's mystique. I felt humbled by the ancient stories and traditions etched into its surface. Walking around Uluru's base, I absorbed the Anangu's deep connection to this land. A must-visit for cultural enthusiasts and nature lovers.

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

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
