Uluru Australia is not someplace that comes immediately to mind when I mention Australia. Most people from my neck of the woods couldn’t even tell you where Uluru is, let alone what it is, but if you are an outdoors person, that’s one place you can’t afford to miss. Every since I was a young boy, I’ve dreamed about going there. This year, I was finally able to make my dream come true.
WHAT IT’S LIKE IN ULURU AUSTRALIA:
Even my good friend, who lives in Australia, didn’t really know much about Uluru. Before I went there, she warned me to be careful because it was so remote and in the outback. Let me tell you, when I got there, I didn’t see much that looked remotely outback. The Aussies have built themselves a nice little oasis paradise out in the middle of BFE. I’m talking 5 star accommodations complete with restaurants, pools, and internet. I do have to warn you though; they do have a bit of a bug problem in Uluru Australia. The flies will harass you to the point they send you running back to your car, but not without following you into the car. The remedy for the bug problem is simple. You can buy fly nets almost anywhere you go and I highly suggest you do so.
WHAT IS ULURU AUSTRALIA:
Uluru is a massive sandstone monolith in the heart of the Northern Territory. It is believed to be about 700 million years old. This hugh rock is the tallest thing out there for kilometers and it certainly is impressive. And if that wasn’t enough, this massive structure bears a beautiful red hue which is amazing to see at sunrise and sunset. It glistens as the sun cast its first and last rays on the rock. Definitely bring your camera to capture the moment. As soon as I stepped off the airplane, I got a sense that I was in store for something special, and boy was I right. Uluru is a sacred place to the indigenous Australians. Although it’s not illegal, it is frown upon for you to climb the rock. If you do decide to climb, be forewarned that you need to climb it early. They don’t allow anyone to climb after 8 am.
THE BEST WAY TO SEE ULURU AUSTRALIA:
There are no shortages of tours you can book to see Uluru Australia, but I recommend you rent a car. That way you can go where you want and stop when you want. Although it’s the outback, the roads there are first rate and you’ll have no problem driving around. One experience you certainly don’t want to miss is walking around the base of the rock. Doing so will give you a sense of just how massive the rock is as well enjoy the wildlife and vegetation growing around it. If you’re a bike person, I read somewhere that you can rent bikes to ride around the base as well.
IN CONCLUSION ABOUT ULURU AUSTRALIA:
A three day stay is a good length of time to spend at Uluru Australia. That amount of time allows you to comfortably take in all the sights and get a total appreciation for the place. I went in dead of summer so it was hot, but not unbearable. So the next time that you are Down Under, make sure you put Uluru on your list of places to visit. You will not be disappointed.
