Lost in Australia : Uluru Tours
Central Australia is home to one of the great natural wonders of the world. The image of the all-mighty Uluru (Ayres Rock) stuck in the middle of a sandy desert plain is one of the most recognized natural icons in the world.
The rock itself can be compared to an iceberg, in that most of its mass is hidden from sight. Considering it stands 350 meters above the desert plain, its true size is astounding. Carbon dating from samples in the vicinity indicate 500 million years of existence.
To get the best understanding of this place and the importance of its heritage, it is important that you start with the Uluru Tours , near the base of Ayers Rock. Interactive display, artwork and video presentation helps you to get a better understanding of its importance. The centre has the Maruka Arts and Craft, that gives you the opportunity to view the local art splendour.
Uluru is amazing due to the natural colour changes of the rock that occur due to weather and sunlight conditions. The strength and colour of the sunlight make the rock appear in different shades and colours. So too does the rain, which creates a beautiful silvery appearance to the rock. Luck is required to experience this spectacular event however due to the scarcity of rainfall in Australia. Watching the sun set at Ayers rock is truly a remarkable and memorable experience.
Uluru is 440 kilometers south west of Alice Springs. Many consider it advantageous to organize a group tour from Alice Springs, as the knowledge of the tour guide provides greater insight into the region, the accommodation near the rock is privately owned, and it frees you to enjoy the ever changing landscape on the way.
