2025 Petermann Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in December)

Seeing the heart of Australia, Uluru, with my own eyes, I realize no photo can truly capture its breathtaking presence. As the first rays of dawn (or: the last hues of twilight) touch the monolith, it transforms within minutes from ochre and orange to a fiery red. In that moment, time seems to stand still, and all that's left is silent awe and wonder for this ancient, billion-year-old formation. #adventuremoments#uluru

#CanadaFlightEvent #OverseasTravel #AustraliaTravel #UluruTravel #LifeTravelDestination #LifeShotPlace There are many tourist destinations in Australia, including Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. I have traveled a lot in Australia while on a working holiday, but if you ask me where I liked the most, I would definitely say Uluru. It was a hot day that exceeded 42 degrees, but the huge Ayers Rock that stood guard over Uluru, the stars that covered the whole world, the Milky Way, and even the sand that turned my shoes red, it was a place that made me feel like I was in a movie. Drinking wine while looking at the picturesque Ayers Rock and having a barbecue dinner with the vast Milky Way as the ceiling made the red desert Uluru an unforgettable travel destination. Here at Uluru, they say hello, thank you, and welcome like this: 'PALYA!'

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.

I've traveled to many countries overseas, and this is one place that left a lasting memory that I'm glad I went to! It used to be called Ayers Rock, but now it's called Uluru, a name given to it by the Australian aborigines. It is the second largest monolith in the world. It is a rare tourist destination that is registered as both a natural and cultural World Heritage Site. Although it is no longer possible to climb Uluru (Ayers Rock), it was a truly amazing place. ୨୧――――――――――――――――――୨୧ information Place visited📍Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park (Ayers Rock) Country📍Australia Access📍 ・About 45 minutes from Alice Springs ・About 2 hours and 20 minutes by plane from Cairns *There is a shuttle bus from the airport to Ayers Rock Resort ୨୧――――――――――――――――――୨୧ #Memories of overseas travel #Trip to Australia #Ayers Rock #Uluru #World Heritage Site

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

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

Uluru, or Ayers Rock, is a massive sandstone monolith in the heart of the Northern Territory’s arid "Red Centre". The nearest large town is Alice Springs, 450km away. Uluru is sacred to indigenous Australians and is thought to have started forming around 550 million years ago. It’s within Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, which also includes the 36 red-rock domes of the Kata Tjuta (colloquially “The Olgas”) formation #mytripvlog #tripblazers #foodie #beachlife #mytripvlog

When talking about the center of the world or the huge rock in central Australia, I believe everyone will say the name Uluru without any prior agreement. However, the place introduced today is not inferior to Uluru at all. It is even taller, wider and more spectacular than Uluru. This is Kata Tjuta, which is listed as a World Natural and Cultural Heritage together with Uluru. Kata Tjuta, also known as Mount Olga, was named in 1872 by explorer Ernest Giles in memory of the Russian-born Grand Duchess Queen Olga. The local government officially adopted a dual naming policy on December 15, 1993, so today, we often see these two names appearing at the same time. According to the language of the local Aboriginal people, Kata Tjuta means many heads. In fact, Kata Tjuta is indeed composed of 36 uniquely shaped dome-shaped boulders. The boulders vary in shape and size. Most of them appear brown-red when viewed from a close distance. However, they show different colors under the sunlight, especially at sunset, when the afterglow is reflected in the valley, which is very beautiful. According to local people, tens of millions of years ago, these 36 hills were originally combined into one giant mountain, which was even several times larger than Uluru today. Later, due to crustal movement, the giant mountain gradually split into the current 36 hills. Even so, the tallest hill is still 200 meters higher than Uluru, which shows how huge the mountain was back then. Kata Tjuta is located about 30 kilometers west of Uluru. It is planned together with Uluru to form Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. They are the two main landmarks of the park. In fact, it is Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park that is listed as a world natural and cultural dual heritage. It is said that the Japanese animation master Hayao Miyazaki once came to Kata Tjuta. Seeing its mysterious grandeur, he referred to its scenery to paint the scenes of Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, which became the inspiration for his famous animation "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind". There are two trails in Kata Tjuta. One is the Walpa Gorge trail, which is 2.6 kilometers long and takes about an hour to go back and forth. It is a relatively simple entry route. You can walk along the canyon of the two highest peaks of Kata Tjuta. There is an observation deck at the end where you can see the V-shaped valley in front and feel the wonders of nature. As for the other trail, the Valley of the Winds Trail is seven kilometers long and takes about four hours to go back and forth. It is quite difficult and a challenge to your physical strength, but it has breathtakingly beautiful scenery along the way, especially the two viewing platforms, which are the best places to view Kata Tjuka. However, going to the Valley of the Wind Trail also depends on the weather. If the temperature exceeds 36°C before 11am that day, especially during the summer from December to February, the trail will be closed. However, even if the trail is open, you still need to pay attention to safety while hiking, carry plenty of drinking water and pay attention to sun protection. You must know that in the open desert with no shelter, the temperature can exceed 40 degrees in summer, and it will be unbearable to stand for a long time. Another best perspective to appreciate Kata Tjuta is from the air. If you are flying to and from Ayers Rock Airport, as long as you sit firmly on the same side, you will be able to see Uluru on the left and Kata Tjuta on the right once on the way there and once on the way back, so you don't miss both attractions. Of course, if your budget allows, you can also choose to take a helicopter to fly over Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. The price of the helicopter depends on the flight time, and generally a 15 to 20 minute flight costs around AUD120. Tickets: 3-day pass costs AUD38 Opening hours: The opening hours vary from month to month, please check the official website for the latest opening hours before departure

We spent only three days in Yulara NT, Australia. it was very hot and dry there as it was in Summer time. However, it was one of our memorable adventures! Uluru Segway tour was one of our lists. It took us about two hours to get around this amazing big rock on Segway. The guide tours were very friendly and professional. They picked us up from the hotel at 5:30 am and also provided us lovely breakfast. the tour finished around 2:30 pm. The cost was $178 AUD / person. was a bit pricey but worth every seconds! #uluru #yulara #segwaytour #australiatravel #australia #adventuretrip #adventure #couplestrip #couple

we had so much fun riding the camel for the first time! it’s like hopping on the train because each camel will be connected to each other! Each camels has its own personality, which some can be very naughty! Its totally safe and enjoyable. one thing was that my bum was so sore after almost 2 hours ride 😂. Snack and drinks also included in this trip! I’m not so sure about the price but it’s about $135 AUD / person including pick-up and drop-off from a hotel. worth it! #camel #camelride #uluru #adventuretrip #adventureday #adventure #couplestrip #couplegoals #couple #australiatravel #australia

📅 Itinerary Day 1: Arrive at Uluru. Watch the sunset from the landmark rock in the Red Desert. The flies are crazy. A fly net is a must. You can get one locally, but it's expensive at $9.99. Day 2: Field of Light. Definitely check it out. It was only about $50, so it's a great value. Day 3: Airport departure, back to Melbourne~~~~ 🏨 Accommodation Recommendations The Outback Hotel is fantastic. 🍴 Restaurant Recommendations: The grill bar inside the Outback Hotel & Lodge is delicious. Choose your meat and enjoy the free salad bar. 🏨 Useful Tips A fly net is a must.

#tesaruonbudget For the solo or paired #tesaruonbudget traveler, the dorm rooms at the Outback Hotel & Lodge are your best bet for a proper bed and air conditioning near Uluru. It’s the cheapest roof over your head in the entire Ayers Rock Resort complex. By staying here, you get access to the free resort shuttle, which is essential for getting between your room, the IGA, and the free daily activities like the 'Bush Yarns' sessions. We packed heaps of dried food and instant noodles in our luggage, treating the IGA as a supplement, not our primary food source. Being resourceful with what you bring and where you sleep makes this remote destination genuinely achievable on a tight budget.

Uluru (Ayers Rock) stands alone in the middle of Australia, a mysterious rock formation nestled amidst the vast red earth. The moment I saw it from the plane window, I was taken aback by its sheer scale. 🛫 When I landed on the ground, it was as if I could hear the heartbeat of the earth. The contrast between the deep blue sky and the deep red earth was truly beautiful, and every angle was picturesque. 📸 I walked around the entire area during the day. The patterns on the rock surface seemed to be imprinted with tens of millions of years of history, and I was overwhelmed by the majesty of nature. Even the small plants I spotted along the way were impressive, surviving so resiliently in such a harsh environment. 🌿 And... I'll never forget the flies! 🪰 I'd heard there were fewer in winter than in summer, but they still occasionally buzzed around my face. I walked fully protected with a hat and hood. 😆 As evening approached, the sunlight bathed Uluru in shades from orange to red, then deep purple. I couldn't help but be mesmerized by the magical gradation. 🌇 At night, the sky was filled with stars! The Milky Way, so close you could almost reach out and touch it, romantically illuminated the quiet desert night. 🌌✨ The next day, we visited nearby Kata Tjuta (the Olgas). The scenery of the round rock formations was impressive in a way that was different from Uluru! During our trek through the Valley of the Winds, the refreshing breeze caressed our cheeks, cleansing our souls. 🍃 Uluru is not just a tourist destination; it's a special place where you can feel the connection between nature and people. It was a journey that brought me peace of mind and allowed me to reflect on myself. 💫 ⸻ 📍Tourist Information Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park Address: Yulara NT 0872, Australia Hours: 5:00 AM - 9:00 PM (varies seasonally) Admission Fee: AUD 38 for adults (valid for 3 days) Access: ・Approximately 15 minutes by car from Ayers Rock Airport ・Approximately 5.5 hours by car (approximately 450 km) from Alice Springs ・Rent a car or use a tour for convenience. 🚙 ⸻ 🌟Hashtags #Uluru #AyersRock #AustraliaTrip #WorldHeritage #KataTjuta #StargazingSpots #StunningDesertViews #PowerOfNature #AustraliaInWinter #StunningViewHunter #RedEarth #AustralianTourism #SoulCleaningJourney #OutbackMiracle

We spent a weekend visiting the incredible Uluru- Kata Tjuṯa National park. The resort was so convenient as it had everything you needed for any type of stay and was so close to the airport and park. We visited the town square for cafes, shops and the supermarket for supplies. We went to the outback hotel for their relaxed bar area. We watched the drone show at night and then got up for the sunrise and definitely recommend both. Very nicely done and super informative and respectful.

#mytraveldiary Uluru: Australia’s Sacred Heart Rising dramatically from the endless red desert, Uluru is more than a rock—it is the beating heart of Australia. Standing before this colossal sandstone monolith, you instantly feel its power. At sunrise, its surface glows gold and crimson, and by sunset, it deepens into fiery purples, as if the earth itself is alive. #travel #couplestrip

#mytraveldiary Uluru isn’t just visually stunning; it carries deep cultural meaning. For the Anangu people, the traditional custodians of this land, Uluru is sacred, tied to ancient stories of creation known as Tjukurpa. Walking the base trail, you’ll see rock art, caves, and sacred sites that whisper thousands of years of history. To truly embrace Uluru’s spirit, join a guided cultural tour, cycle around its 10km base, or simply sit in silence and let the desert’s stillness sink in. Whether you come for photography, cultural connection, or the pure awe of nature, Uluru is a once-in-a-lifetime experience—a reminder of how deeply land and spirit are intertwined.

#mytraveldiary Uluru: Where Time Stands Still In Australia’s Northern Territory lies Uluru, a place where time seems frozen and the earth tells stories older than memory. This giant monolith rises 348 meters above the desert, yet most of its mass lies hidden underground—like an iceberg of stone, silently shaping the land for millions of years. Exploring Uluru is an adventure of contrasts: cycle or walk the base to discover waterholes and rock art, then climb nearby Kata Tjuta for sweeping desert views. In the evening, witness “Field of Light,” an art installation that blankets the desert floor with thousands of glowing bulbs, echoing the stars above.

#mytraveldiary Stand at the viewing platforms at sunrise, and watch the first light kiss Uluru awake. In the evening, sit quietly as the rock turns fiery red, before the night sky reveals millions of stars. For travelers, Uluru is both a photo stop and a soul stop. It is a place to connect with the earth, to listen to stories of the First Nations people, and to feel the timelessness of the Australian desert. It’s not just a trip; it’s a journey into the heart of our planet.

#mytraveldiary Chasing the Colors of Uluru Few places on earth transform like Uluru. By day, it is a mighty ochre rock standing proudly in the Outback. But as the sun moves, its colors shift—burnt orange, glowing red, deep violet—turning every glance into a new painting. Visiting Uluru is about more than the view. The vastness of the desert horizon gives you space to breathe, to pause, to reflect.

Introducing Australia's Ayers Rock (Uluru) 🇦🇺!

Remote location, no better conditions than big cities, each hotel itself has restaurants, town center also has several restaurants to choose from. 7. Desert climate, day and night temperature difference is huge, noon high temperature can reach 60 degrees, within an hour after sunset the temperature quickly drops below 10 degrees, winter evening temperature will drop to below zero, must be ready for all seasons clothes! ⚠️ Notes: - Tickets are required for access to national parks, remember to have e-tickets or paper tickets ready. - The local climate is dry and prone to heat stroke. - There will be temporary controls in some areas of the national park to respect on-site regulations and not to trespass with private or protected areas. - Town center has a simple supermarket, but a smaller selection of goods and more expensive prices. In addition, there are only simple medical centers in this area, no hospitals, personal medications must be brought! Uluru is really suitable for those who love nature and want to feel the unique landscape and culture of Australia. Whether walking on the trails to take pictures or sitting high in the sky to see the panoramic view, every moment is worth cherishing!
