Located in the southern region of central Australia lies the stunning natural sandstone beauty that is Uluru, better known as Ayers Rock. Emerging abruptly from the red sands of the desert, it is an awe-inspiring sight even for the most seasoned of travellers.
Ayers Rock is situated in the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, which showcases Australia's fascinating aboriginal past. The national park and its rock are considered sacred to the Anangu, the indigenous people of the local area. Fully explore the wider location and hire a car at Ayers Rock - then you can experience the stunning springs, and even go caving.
Rent a car in Ayers Rock and begin your trip at the local Cultural centre where you can learn all about what the area has to offer. At the centre you can also visit the Maruku Arts Gallery and admire the work on display. There are traditionally crafted wooden tools, artefacts, paintings, jewellery, and pottery. From the Cultural Centre you can then set out on a tour, either exploring the region by foot or camel, and you can even take part in a dot painting workshop.
