Uluru or Ayers Rock has been portrayed uncountable times in movies, on postcards or in documentaries. Nevertheless, the gigantic red rock, the world’s largest monolith, never ceases to fascinate visitors with its mysterious and striking appearance.
The day you visit the Uluru-Katatjuta National Park to finally lay hands on the red rock, our recommendation is to walk around Uluru and not to climb it out of respect for Aborigine beliefs, who consider the red monolith a holy place.
Approximately 48 kilometres west of Uluru lie the Olgas. 36 immense red boulders create a maze of deep canyons and soaring rock faces. Some reach a staggering height of 600 metres – a sight no less spectacular than Uluru.
The Olgas are also considered sacred by the Aborigines, possibly even more so than Uluru. Visitors, however, are of split opinions: some are awed by the maze of the Olgas and others more impressed by the might of Uluru.
No matter which of the two monumental wonders of nature inspires you most, the Uluru Katatjuta National Park is one of down under’s great attractions and a highlight of any Australia itinerary!
