Uluru Region

We all love the sunset glow at Kata Tjuṯa at sunset, but have you ever witnessed the mystical clouds rolling over its ochre-coloured peaks?✨☁ Located about 40 kilometres from Uluṟu, Kata Tjuṯa is a Pitjantjatjara/Yankunytjatjara term that means ‘many heads’. It's sacred to the local Aboriginal Anangu people, who have inhabited the area for more than 22,000 years. As a visitor you can join a cultural tour to learn some of the region’s sacred history and Dreamtime stories 🎴🧡 @visitcentralaus Cheers for tagging @ntaustralia @valeriecornet #SeeAustralia #SeeUluru #VisitUluru #SeeAustralia ID: Large red rock formations with cloud cover on top surrounded by red dirt and bushland.

If you're looking for a unique experience while in Uluru, watch the skies light up at Wintjiri Wiru, a spectacular light and sound show, that combines ancient Aṉangu storytelling with 1,100 luminous drones and state-of-the-art laser and light projection technology ✨ Wintjiri Wiru, means 'beautiful view out to the horizon' in the local Pitjantjatjara language. As custodians of the land, Aṉangu hold the Mala story from Kaltukatjara to Uluṟu. To share their story, RAMUS designed and produced an artistic platform using drones, light and sound to create an immersive storytelling experience. #SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT #ExploreUluru #outbackaustralia #roadtripaustralia #Aboriginalculture #australia ID: A formation of glowing drones in the night sky creates the outline of a dog, set against the iconic silhouette of Uluru visible beneath the dark sky.

It's difficult to describe the feeling that comes over you when you first lay eyes on Kata Tjuṯa (The Olgas). Equal parts ancient and imposing, these ochre-coloured rock domes are spread over more 20 square kilometres and soar up to 546 metres above the surrounding plain, almost 200 metres higher than Uluṟu. Choose from a number of walking trails that range from easy strolls to longer, more difficult tracks. Visit one of the viewing areas at sunrise or sunset and watch the domes glow and change colour with the surrounding desert landscape 🧡 Located about 40 kilometres from Uluṟu, ‘Kata Tjuta’ is a Pitjantjatjara term that means ‘many heads’.
