Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park

The sunrise viewing area Talinguru Nyakuntjaku (which means 'place to look from the sand dune') is on the Eastern side of Uluru. It gives you a raised viewing area, and you can also see Kata Tjuta to the side from the viewing point, and a sunset viewing point between the Kata Tjuta turn-off and the cultural centre. In addition, the area also has 1.6 km of walking tracks, carpark, shade shelters, toilets and an area that can be used for concerts. The previous sunrise viewing area that actually allowed you to see the sunrise over the rock is closed because it allowed viewing of a sacred site. If you only have one sunrise during your stay, you may choose to view Kata Tjuṯa.

Also has a well-marked sunrise and sunset viewing point on the road leading to the domes. The Kata Tjuta consists of 36 domes composed of conglomerate, a sedimentary rock consisting of cobbles and boulders of varying rock types including granite and basalt, cemented by a matrix of coarse sandstone. The highest dome, Mount Olga, is 1,066 metres above sea level, approximately 546 metres above the surrounding plain and 198 metres higher than Uluṟu).

Built in 1995 to mark the 10th anniversary of Handover (the process by which land was given back to the traditional owners, and Ayers Rock became Uluru). It's worth a visit before walking around Uluru as it hosts a multitude of Aboriginal creation stories and extensive articles about the history of the Pitjantjara. There are shops where you can buy local art and souvenirs. It's also a good place for a rest after trekking around Uluru.

Ride a bike around the standard Uluru walk; 14km including the distance from the cultural centre; sometimes an easier way for younger families to complete the base track. The ride is independent rather than guided; but the walking track is very clear. Make sure to book the transfer option if you don't have your own transport from Yulara.

Complete the base walk riding a Segway device; guided tours. Make sure to book transfer option if you don't have your own transport from Yulara.

Another wonderful experience. You are taken from the resort to the camel farm where you are instructed on what you need to do. The owner is very friendly. The camel trek is through surrounding desert, giving good views all around with a talk on camel history and the area, before reaching a viewing point to watch the sun rising or setting on Uluru. The camels are well cared for animals, not at all smelly, and all very well behaved. At the camel farm there is home made beer bread with wattle seed dip, camel meat, bush fruits and a variety of drinks. There is also the opportunity to purchase from the gift shop.
