Uluru
Uluru (Ayers Rock) is synonymous with Australia's iconic interior.
The monolith stands 348 metres high, and has a great cultural significance for the traditional Aboriginal owners, the Anangu people.
Located 40 kilometres to the west of Uluru are the massive rock domes of Kata Tjuta/The Olgas, which date back over 500 million years. The Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, home to these geological wonders, is situated 440 kilometres south west of Alice Springs, and is visited by thousands of travellers each year.
A range of accommodation from camp sites to five-star luxury is available at the Ayers Rock Resort in the township of Yulara, a small township purpose built to service travellers to the Park. Yulara also offers an airport, and the Yulara Visitors Centre provides information on the history, geology, flora, fauna and culture of this amazing region.
Kings Canyon
Kings Canyon, Watarrka National Park, is located 450 kilometres south west of Alice Springs in the Uluru-Kata Tjuta region of the Northern Territory. The Park encompasses the western end of the George Gill Range and is home to a variety of unique native flora and fauna, including over 600 different plant species. Commercial accommodation can be found within the Park at the Kings Canyon Resort and Kings Creek Station. The area has also been home to Luritja Aboriginal people for the last 20,000 years. The word Watarrka refers to the umbrella bush that proliferates in this amazing landscape. Combined with an eerie collection of weathered rock formations known as the Lost City and a permanent waterhole veiled by palms and ferns known as the Garden of Eden, a visit to the incredible Kings Canyon is full of surprises. Kings Canyon has several accommodation options from campsites to luxury hotel units as well as a restaurant, cafe, bar, souvenir shop and fuel pumps.
