Uluru / Ayers Rock is one of the most recognised symbols of Australia. The monolith stands 348 metres high, and has a great cultural significance for the traditional Aboriginal owners, the Anangu people. Located 440 kilometres to the west of Alice Springs by road, Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park contains Uluru / Ayers Rock and the impressive 36 domes of Kata Tjuta / The Olgas. These massive geological formations date back over 500 million years and are visited by thousands of travellers each year. A range of accommodation from camp sites to five-star luxury is available at Yulara, a small township purpose built to service park visitors. Yulara contains Ayers Rock Resort, made up of a range of properties to suit most budgets, a shopping centre and an airport with daily connections to several other Australian destinations
