Uluru, or sometimes better knows as Ayers Rock, has been a very spiritual place to the Anangu people, the traditional owners, for thousands of years. Although people have been visiting and climbing Uluru for years, the Aborigines would prefer they didn’t. In our opinion, you have to pay respect to the Aboriginals and their culture so we decided not to climb Uluru. Aboriginal ancestors walked the path that tourists do today, and many of the caves around the rock hold deep meanings for them and contain ancient rock paintings.
After a long long drive in the Outback of Australia, we finally arrived to the National Park, where we stayed on the only campsite in the area of Yulara. Yulara is a small town specially build for visitors of Uluru. Here you will find a supermarket, fuel station, and accommodation. Ayers Rock Campground, 15 KM from Uluru has air-conditioned cabins, powered sites for caravans, campervans, motorhomes and camper trailers, or unpowered campsites. The Campground also provides a range of services and facilities including a swimming pool, playground, bbq facilities and outdoor kitchen and self-service laundry facilities to make the great outdoors truly enjoyable!
We spent 2 full days in the are to explore Uluru but also Kata Tjutha National Park. Hereby a top 10 tip list when visiting.
When you are in Australia, you can't miss this beautiful and special area!
