Join us on a transformative journey at Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, as part of Rockleigh Tours’ 12-day adventure through Central Australia. Today was dedicated to the awe-inspiring Uluru, a natural wonder that dominates the landscape with its massive sandstone presence rising 348 meters above the plain.
Our exploration began at the Cultural Centre, where we delved into the rich indigenous history and culture of the Anangu people, the traditional owners of the land. Through their art and stories, we gained insight into the spiritual significance of Uluru and the continuous connection of the Anangu people with this sacred site.
Choosing the guided base walk instead of the climb, we respectfully engaged with the sacred land, discovering ancient cave paintings and learning about the ancestral beings from our expert guide provided by Rockleigh Tours. This immersive experience not only brought us closer to understanding the Aboriginal culture but also emphasized the importance of conservation and respect for sacred sites.
After reconnecting with nature, we cooled off in the resort pool, taking a well-deserved break before the evening's highlight. As the sun set, we witnessed the dramatic change in Uluru’s colour palette, from vibrant ochre to deep reds, a spectacular end to a day full of discovery.
This evening, as we camp under the stars at Ayers Rock Campground, we invite you to experience this magical transformation and the profound tranquillity of the Red Centre.
