Uluru (Ayers Rock) Reviews

There are already a few Uluru reviews up here, but thought I would contribute one anyway, because my experience was slightly differerent. Whilst I was there, it pretty much rained the whole time. Not what you'd expect in the middle of the outback, but apparently it is a semi-arid zone, so they do get some rainfall. However it is an ...  Read the complete review

Uluru (or Ayers Rock) is a UNESCO world heritage site in the south of the Northern Territory, Australia. The rock itself is sandstone, and around 200 miles from Alice Springs (the nearest large town). It is located in the Kata Tjuta National Park, and is the bigger of the 2 main rocks, Uluru and Kata Tjuta. Uluru is sacred to the local ...  Read the complete review

Ive recently came back from travelling around Australia for six months and I have to admit that my time during the outback has to be the highlight, Uluru opitimising it all. You wont go to Uluru for an extended stay, you will end up in Yulara, a resort built specifically for people wanting to visit Uluru by request of the Aboriginals. You can ...  Read the complete review

Ayers Rock (or Uluru to give it it's Aboriginal name) is a place that you are unlikely to go for an extended stay. It is a place where you will stop off at on your travels around Australia or, like us, a quick flight in and out with an overnight stay. When you shut your eyes and think about Australia some people will visualize The ...  Read the complete review

We spent seven months in Australia, which obviously isn't going to fit in one op, so I thought I'd start at the very pinnacle of our Oz experience. Although it isn’t the easiest place to get to, Ayers Rock has to be one of the most magical places I have ever visited. Pretty much slap bang in the centre of Australia, Ayers ...  Read the complete review

Before embarking on my 3 week tour of Australia which started and ended in Sydney, I decided to organise getting to the Rock in the first place. Getting There ------------- What I did not realise is that the country is much bigger than I first thought it ...  Read the complete review

Before I actually visited Ayers Rock (Uluru in the Aboriginal dialect), I thought of it as merely a big red rock and a great photo opportunity. However, I was soon enlightened and the visit was an amazing experience. I can't quite explain it but there was definitely something quite spiritual and moving about the whole thing. You could sit ...  Read the complete review

The rock is an essential part of any visit to Oz and well worth the effort, but its stuck out in the middle of nowhere which makes any budget trip arduous to say the least because all the major cities are glued to the coast leaving at least 30 hours of dry mouthed, coach stopping, seat jumping agony. Trains only get out to Alice and the rock area ...  Read the complete review

Ayres Rock or Uluru as it is now known is a sight not to be missed when visiting Australia. Indeed it is now one of the major tourist attractions, and rightly so. It is an absolutely stunning geological feature. Rising up 1100 feet from the flat desert of the outback, this amazing red rock can be seen for many miles around. In view of its ...  Read the complete review

This has got to be one of the greatest land marks I have seen, it's sheer size is overwhelming for just a mere rock, Ayres Rock (Uluru as it is known to the aborigines) is well worth a visit on your travels around Australia, there is a great selection of package trips you can take with different operators, my advice would be that you should ...  Read the complete review
