Find out more about those top places in Uluru-Kata
Located in the heart of Australia’s vast outback, the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is Australia’s most iconic destination. Rising from the arid scrub land of the Simpson Desert, the monumental red rock faces of Uluru, known for decades in English as Ayres Rock, are an unforgettable sight. While Uluru was unknown to westerners until the 1880s, it has for 20000 years been a site of spiritual significance for the Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara Aboriginal peoples. Today, ‘the Rock’ attracts upwards of 400000 visitors per year but other areas of the national park remain true hidden gems. Indeed, the magical blood red rock formations of Kata Tjuta are taller and more undulating than their famous neighbor but attract a fraction of the attention.
