Rail Journey on The Ghan - The Ghan to the Centre

from $2,099*

VISIT: Adelaide - Alice Springs - Uluru - Alice Springs.

For most of us the site of Uluru, or Ayers Rock to use the European name, is pretty familiar from hundreds of documentaries, postcards and photographs. The thing is that no matter how many images of the famous monolith have been seen, nothing is quite like seeing Uluru for real. Standing at the base - touching and exploring it's folds, textures, colours and mysteries, will bring a sudden understanding of why this place is so precious to it's aboriginal custodians and why it is one of the few natural wonders of the world. "The Rock" stands close to 350 metres high, however, like an iceberg most of it is below the surface.
