Impressive place, we felt emotional when we visited Uluru, undoubtedly a spiritual place and special significance to the traditional landowners, Yankunytjatjara and Pitjantjatara people. Uluru is enormous, like what it would feel like swimming under Sydney Harbour Bridge, and the heat and the air so dry, and there not much sound, no birds or car traffic, quiet still and dusty. however the conditions gave us a feel for what living outback must be like - tough. How Aboriginal people survived out here for thousands of years is fascinating. Luckily for us, we stayed in the Outback Pioneer lodge, air-con, and ate at the restaurant five star dinners with cold beer and fine wine. We visited the Aboriginal information facility and booked a tour with a Aboriginal guide and listened fascinated to his to stories about the Rock and its people.We chose not to climb the Uluru to respect the wishes of the traditional owners., instead we hired a car and drove out to Uluru lookouts at sunrise and sunset, to take our photographs- there were so many flies, we had to wear nets over our heads! But we didn't care, the adventure is so moving, so unforgettable. A visit to Australia must include a trip Outback to Uluru and its people.

Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is so beautiful and break-taking. There is nothing physically stopping you from climbing Uluru, but please be respectful and don’t climb it. This is sacred place to the natives. The size of Kata Tjuta is so nice, but I believe not as many people visit this - only Uluru. The Olgas are worth a visit.
