Uluru & Surrounds

Now THIS is worth setting an early alarm for 😍 A surreal sunrise at @exploreuluru ✨ ​Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park has five dedicated viewing areas which are cleverly positioned so that you can see the magical moment when the sun’s rays hit the rock and its surface changes colour. More than just a photo opportunity, #Uluru also holds great spiritual and cultural significance to local Aṉangu, the traditional owners of the area. Join a cultural tour with @exploreuluru or @seitoutbackaustralia and learn more about the history behind this special part of @visitcentralaus from knowledgeable guides.

The skies light up at Uluṟu for Wintjiri Wiru, a spectacular new light and sound show, that combines ancient Aṉangu storytelling with 1,100 luminous drones and state-of-the-art laser and light projection technology. As custodians of the land, Aṉangu hold the Mala story from Kaltukatjara to Uluru. To share their story, RAMUS designed and produced an artistic platform using drones, light and sound to create an immersive storytelling experience. Two shows nightly at Uluṟu from May until December each year, with one show a night operating in January and February. A new era of storytelling has begun. #ntaustralia @exploreuluru @australia @ntaustralia #ExploreUluru #WintjiriWiru #Justwow #seeAustralia 📷 thanks @rayofmelbourne for sharing your #ntaustralia pics with us.
