Start planning your next Uluru tour

Witness the majesty of the world's largest single rock monolith

Uluru is the heart of the outback

Uluru is one of Australia’s most iconic natural wonders and brings hundreds of thousands of tourists each year. Located in the “red centre”, Uluru is 335km southwest of Alice Springs and sits at the heart of the Northern Territory. Uluru is more than just this impressive sandstone monolith. The Uluru - Kata Tjuta National Park is one of the very few locations that has been dually heritage listed by UNESCO World Heritage for both cultural significance and natural wonder. The Anangu peoples are the traditional owners of Uluru, which means ‘great pebble’. Believed to have been created at the beginning of time, Uluru and the Kata Tjuta surrounds are sacred and stand as a living landscape of local Indigenous culture. There’s so much to learn and see around Uluru, from cultural tours and guided activities to photography, nature walks, art galleries, rock art and more. Learn more about this amazing 550 million-year-old rock formation by taking a trip to the outback.
