Tourists who once secretly carried off a piece of the sacred earth as a souvenir humbly return it, claiming the act brought them nothing but terrible luck. The phenomenon of the so-called &#8220;sorry rocks&#8221; makes one thing perfectly clear: <strong>Uluru in Australia is no ordinary mountain<\/strong>, but a place charged with incredibly powerful energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the red heart of Australia might look like an inhospitable, empty wasteland at first glance, it hides a <strong>fascinating Indigenous culture that stretches back tens of thousands of years<\/strong>. They say you leave Uluru a different person, and believe it or not, that red colour somehow clings to you long after you&#8217;ve come home. I&#8217;ve put together a <strong>detailed guide to the most beautiful spots<\/strong>, so you know exactly what to expect from a journey into the centre of the continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve covered everything from tickets and accommodation to tips on activities. The goal is to get you out into the desert well prepared and without unnecessary stress. We&#8217;ll go through <strong>when to go<\/strong> so you don&#8217;t roast, how best to reach the area, and how much it will all cost. On top of that, we&#8217;ll take a look at the <strong>local culture<\/strong>, because without understanding it you&#8217;d miss the most important part of Uluru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>  <strong>Park entry:<\/strong> A three-day park pass costs AUD 38 (free for under-18s) and it&#8217;s best to buy it online in advance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong>Best time to visit:<\/strong> May to September offers pleasant temperatures around 20 to 30 \u00b0C, while summer brings extreme heat and trail closures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong>Essential protection:<\/strong> From October to March the ever-present flies will drive you mad, so a fly net over your head is an absolute must.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong>Getting there:<\/strong> A direct flight to Ayers Rock Airport (AYQ) includes a free transfer to the hotels, while flying into Alice Springs means a longer drive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong>Recommended length of stay:<\/strong> At least three nights are recommended for a comfortable visit, giving you enough time for the neighbouring rock formations too.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong>Basic rule:<\/strong> Climbing to the summit has been strictly banned since 2019, and out of respect for local traditions you should not photograph sacred sites.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong>Top tip:<\/strong> If you&#8217;re renting a car, a standard two-wheel-drive vehicle is more than enough for the usual loop, as the main roads are sealed.<\/li>\n\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Entry_fees_and_when_to_go\"><\/span>Entry fees and when to go<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To enter the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park itself, <strong>you&#8217;ll need a so-called <a href=\"https:\/\/parksaustralia.gov.au\/uluru\/plan\/passes\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">park pass<\/a><\/strong>, which is a compulsory requirement for moving around the whole protected area. The standard <strong>three-day ticket costs AUD 38<\/strong> (roughly \u20ac23), while children and teenagers up to eighteen enter completely free. If you decide to stay longer and want to visit repeatedly, you can pay extra for an annual version, but for the vast majority of travellers a three-day ticket is perfectly sufficient and easy to buy online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arriving at the wrong time of year can turn a dream trip into a survival mission, so don&#8217;t underestimate your timing. The most ideal period is undoubtedly the <strong>months from May to September<\/strong>, when daytime temperatures sit in a very pleasant range of 20 to 30 \u00b0C. During these months the sky is usually crystal clear and the light for photography is absolutely perfect. That said, be aware that night temperatures can drop very low, so layered clothing is a must.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you decide to go during the Australian summer, expect <strong>temperatures that regularly climb above 40 \u00b0C<\/strong>, which can be genuinely dangerous for an unacclimatised body. The park management routinely closes trails once the temperature exceeds 36 \u00b0C (in summer this happens around eleven), so your window for activity shrinks to the early morning, and even then you&#8217;ll be grateful for shade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another quirk you&#8217;ll have to come to terms with in the outback is the <strong>incredibly persistent desert flies<\/strong>, whose peak season runs from October to March. We&#8217;re not talking about a few annoying insects, but whole clouds of them constantly flying into your eyes, ears and mouth, so a <strong>protective fly net over your head<\/strong> is the only thing that will save you from losing your mind. And remember the park&#8217;s official rule, which requires you to carry <strong>at least one litre of water for every hour of walking<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_reach_the_Red_Centre\"><\/span>How to reach the Red Centre<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deciding how you&#8217;ll actually get to this remote area <strong>is one of the most important steps in your whole plan<\/strong>, because distances in the outback are truly enormous. Many travellers automatically choose a <strong>direct flight to the small Ayers Rock Airport (AYQ)<\/strong>, which sits close to the national park and the Yulara resort itself. The huge advantage of this option is the <strong>completely free bus transfer<\/strong> waiting for every arrival, taking you straight to your accommodation in about ten minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second popular option is to <strong>fly into the town of Alice Springs<\/strong>, roughly 465 kilometres away, and then rent a car. Here it&#8217;s worth flagging a common trap travellers fall into: the flight between Alice Springs and the Uluru airport is often <strong>more expensive than the car rental itself for several days<\/strong>. The drive between the town and the national park takes around five and a half hours, offers gorgeous views of the desert landscape, and along the way you might even spot the flat-topped Mount Conner, nicknamed &#8220;fake Uluru&#8221; for its shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you decide to rent a vehicle, there&#8217;s a widespread myth that you absolutely need a giant off-roader for the outback. In reality, <strong>a standard two-wheel-drive (2WD) car is more than enough for the classic loop<\/strong>. All the main roads, including the Lasseter Highway and the Luritja Road turnoff towards Kings Canyon, are <strong>well maintained and fully sealed<\/strong>. You&#8217;d only need a four-wheel-drive if you wanted to tackle the unsealed Mereenie Loop shortcut, which also requires a special permit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An alternative for those who don&#8217;t fancy driving in the desert are <strong>organised multi-day tours straight from Alice Springs<\/strong>. A three-day loop, which usually includes transport, meals, entry fees and sleeping in traditional swags, <strong>will set you back around AUD 790 to 995<\/strong> depending on the operator. It&#8217;s a great choice for solo travellers or anyone who wants everything sorted, but bear in mind you&#8217;ll have to fit fully into the group&#8217;s packed schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_stay_Yulara_and_around\"><\/span>Where to stay: Yulara and around<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Accommodation and experiences tip:<\/strong> We prefer to look for accommodation on <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Booking.com\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/doporucujeme\/booking-com\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Booking.com<\/a>, which usually has the <strong>best cancellation terms<\/strong>.

All the hotels and services here are run by the Voyages company, which means <strong>prices are fixed and fairly high<\/strong>, simply because there&#8217;s no competing alternative for hundreds of kilometres. It&#8217;s the only base far and wide, so it&#8217;s absolutely essential to book your rooms many months in advance, especially if you&#8217;re travelling in high season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For families with children or groups of friends, the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&#038;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&#038;campaign=uluru&#038;hotelname=Emu%20Walk%20Apartments&#038;address=Yulara%2C%20Austr%C3%A1lie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Emu Walk Apartments<\/a><\/strong> are a great choice \u2014 according to reviews on Booking, they&#8217;re the highest-rated accommodation in the entire resort.

Camping isn&#8217;t allowed inside the national park itself, but right nearby you&#8217;ll find the <strong>well-equipped Discovery Resorts \u2013 Kings Canyon<\/strong>, offering everything from campsites and luxury glamping tents to classic hotel rooms. A popular alternative here is Kings Creek Station, where you can sleep in traditional desert tents and soak up the real atmosphere of the Australian outback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dining_options_or_where_to_eat_well\"><\/span>Dining options, or where to eat well<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the centre of Yulara you&#8217;ll find an IGA supermarket, and trust me, in a monopoly resort in the middle of the desert that&#8217;s exactly the kind of news that puts a smile on your face. Although food prices here are naturally higher than in the big coastal cities, it&#8217;s still <strong>by far the cheapest way to feed yourself in the resort<\/strong> if you have the option to cook. On top of that, the resort offers plenty of free activities, such as guided garden walks or talks about Indigenous culture, which help you save even more of your budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you fancy treating yourself on holiday, though, there are several proper restaurants. You&#8217;ll find everything from upscale places with a three-course menu to the relaxed style of the <strong>Outback Pioneer<\/strong>, where guests pick their ingredients from the counter (from steaks to vegetable skewers) and grill them themselves outside, all while a live band plays. It&#8217;s a great chance to <strong>taste something traditional<\/strong> while keeping your wallet at least a little at ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14_experiences_in_the_red_heart_of_Australia\"><\/span>14 experiences in the red heart of Australia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The area around <strong>Uluru and Kata Tjuta<\/strong> offers so many fascinating spots that one weekend simply won&#8217;t cut it.

The route takes you right along the entire rock face and <strong>takes about three and a half hours on foot<\/strong>, during which you&#8217;ll see surprisingly varied scenery. While the rock looks smooth from afar, up close you&#8217;ll discover deep grooves, fascinating caves and mysterious nooks carved by thousands of years of erosion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you walk, you&#8217;ll fully realise that <strong>this sandstone giant changes character at almost every step<\/strong>. In some sections you&#8217;ll pass through dense acacia scrub, in others you&#8217;ll hit bare plains, with <strong>each side of the rock offering a completely different visual experience<\/strong>. It&#8217;s also a space to switch off. Just you, the red rock and a silence that might catch you a little off guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Practically speaking, it&#8217;s absolutely essential to <strong>set off at first light<\/strong> to avoid the scorching afternoon heat. \ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> Make sure your backpack holds enough fluids following the official rule of one litre per hour, and respect the markings at sacred sites where photography is strictly forbidden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a95ce56b7ad0&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a95ce56b7ad0\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1174\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-09.jpg\" alt=\"Rock walls along the Mala Walk trail\" class=\"wp-image-393748\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-09.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-09-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-09-700x457.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-09-768x501.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-09-1536x1002.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-09-696x454.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-09-1392x908.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Photograph:  Cemendtaur\nDerivative work MagentaGreen \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Mala_Walk_with_a_park_ranger_guide\"><\/span>3.

Attentive visitors say the very grooves and shadows on the rock face still recall the traces of this ancient mythological struggle that shaped the landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to the permanent presence of water, this spot is a <strong>great place to watch small birds and local wildlife<\/strong>. \ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> If you come in the late afternoon, you&#8217;ll avoid the biggest crowds from the tour buses and be able to soak up the magical atmosphere of this sacred place in complete silence and privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a95ce56b84be&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a95ce56b84be\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"494\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-11.jpg\" alt=\"Uluru from the south; the rock&#039;s stories are told by the cultural centre at its foot\" class=\"wp-image-393751\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-11.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-11-300x82.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-11-700x192.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-11-768x211.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-11-1536x422.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-11-696x191.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-11-1392x382.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Dietmar Rabich \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_The_Cultural_Centre_and_Indigenous_art\"><\/span>5.

Inside you&#8217;ll find the fascinating Tjukurpa Tunnel, <strong>which draws you into the world of Indigenous traditions through sound and visuals<\/strong>. The centre is open daily from 7:00 a.m. to 5:45 p.m. and it&#8217;s recommended to set aside at least two full hours for a proper look around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside the educational exhibits, there are also <strong>two excellent art galleries, Maruku Arts and Walkatjara Art<\/strong>, where you can admire traditional dot paintings and wood carvings. These are authentic works by local artists, <strong>and buying souvenirs in these galleries directly supports the Indigenous community<\/strong>. You can often see artists at work here, watching the precision with which they create their masterpieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you&#8217;re tired from taking it all in, <strong>you can rest at the lovely Ininti caf\u00e9<\/strong>, which offers refreshments and a beautiful view of the surrounding landscape. \ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> Photography and filming are strictly prohibited throughout the cultural centre, which must be respected without exception out of respect for the sacred objects and stories on display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a95ce56b892f&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a95ce56b892f\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1300\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-12.jpg\" alt=\"The Valley of the Winds hike between the domes of Kata Tjuta\" class=\"wp-image-393753\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-12.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-12-300x217.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-12-700x506.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-12-768x555.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-12-1536x1109.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-12-696x503.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-12-1392x1005.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Toby Hudson \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 3.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Kata_Tjuta_and_the_Valley_of_the_Winds_hike\"><\/span>6.

This complex of thirty-six huge sandstone domes covers over 20 square kilometres, and <strong>its highest peak, Mount Olga, rises an impressive 546 metres above the plain<\/strong>, meaning it&#8217;s significantly taller than Uluru itself. The earlier name for this place was The Olgas, but today the traditional name meaning &#8220;many heads&#8221; is used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best way to explore this area is to <strong>tackle the challenging but breathtaking Valley of the Winds trail<\/strong>. The loop measures 7.4 kilometres and leads you straight through the heart of this mysterious rock labyrinth, <strong>where narrow gorges alternate with open views across the wilderness<\/strong>. It&#8217;s here that you&#8217;ll fully appreciate the enormous power of nature, which has shaped these giant boulders into their current form over millions of years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This hike is one of the more physically demanding ones, and <strong>the park management closes it without compromise for safety reasons<\/strong> once the temperature exceeds 36 \u00b0C. \ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> Head out at first light, because unlike its more famous neighbour, you won&#8217;t meet such crowds of tourists here and you&#8217;ll have all that beauty almost to yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a95ce56b8f77&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a95ce56b8f77\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1350\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-13.jpg\" alt=\"Walpa Gorge in Kata Tjuta\" class=\"wp-image-393756\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-13.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-13-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-13-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-13-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-13-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-13-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-13-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-13-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-13-1392x1044.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Weldon.r.thompson \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Walpa_Gorge_the_easier_route_into_the_heart_of_the_rocks\"><\/span>7.

This very popular trail measures just 2.6 kilometres there and back, <strong>takes about an hour of gentle walking<\/strong>, and almost every visitor can manage it. The route leads you right between the two most massive sandstone domes of the whole complex, which loom above you like giant watchtowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As soon as you step into the shade of the gorge, <strong>you&#8217;ll instantly feel a noticeable drop in temperature<\/strong>, which is incredibly refreshing in the desert environment. This microclimate is exactly what allows unique plant species to survive, <strong>species that would stand no chance on the scorching plains<\/strong>, and after rains you might even come across a flowing stream.

Field of Light: a field of fifty thousand lights<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The combination of harsh desert landscape and modern art <strong>gave rise to a fascinating light installation called Field of Light<\/strong>. British artist Bruce Munro had fifty thousand glass spheres placed on slender stems, <strong>which glow with thousands of soft colours after sunset<\/strong>. It was originally meant to be a temporary exhibition, but thanks to its enormous success and more than 730,000 delighted visitors, its stay has been extended at least until the end of 2029.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This experience offers an <strong>utterly quiet, contemplative walk through a vast field<\/strong> that looks like an alien glowing garden has bloomed in the desert. The installation spreads across an enormous area, <strong>with the outline of the rock rising into the darkness in the background, and this combination (the field of light and the darkness all around) really gets you<\/strong>. Prices for basic tickets start at roughly AUD 50 and include a comfortable transfer straight from your hotel in Yulara. You can buy them on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ayersrockresort.com.au\/experiences\/field-of-light\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">official website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re after romance and calm, <strong>this light spectacle is an absolutely ideal way to round off a demanding day<\/strong>. \ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> Tickets tend to sell out weeks in advance, so don&#8217;t hesitate to book on the official website and check current availability before you visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a95ce56b9ae1&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a95ce56b9ae1\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-15.jpg\" alt=\"Night sky over the red centre of Australia\" class=\"wp-image-393760\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-15.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-15-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-15-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-15-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-15-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-15-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-15-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Mercedes Andrea Cataldi \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Wintjiri_Wiru_a_story_told_by_drones\"><\/span>9.

While the Field of Light is more about quiet meditation, <strong>this spectacle is powerful cultural storytelling<\/strong>, in which a swarm of more than a thousand illuminated drones creates huge moving images across the night sky. The basic version of the show, called Twilight or After Dark, costs around AUD 205.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the show, an <strong>ancient Indigenous story about the Mala people unfolds over the desert<\/strong>, accompanied by traditional music and narration in the local Pitjantjatjara language with an English translation. It&#8217;s the first time in history that the <strong>local Anangu community has officially approved telling their sacred story through such modern technology<\/strong>. For an even more intense experience, you can pay extra for the Sunset Dinner version from AUD 310, which includes a lavish dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This show is <strong>the perfect choice for anyone who wants to experience a modern interpretation of ancient legends with a stunning wow factor<\/strong>. \ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> For the After Dark version, carefully check its availability in advance, because in some months this late-night show may have a seasonal break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a95ce56b9f8c&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a95ce56b9f8c\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1197\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-16.jpg\" alt=\"Star trails over the outback, the backdrop for desert dinners\" class=\"wp-image-393761\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-16.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-16-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-16-700x466.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-16-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-16-1536x1021.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-16-696x463.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-16-1392x926.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Damien Leyden \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Dinner_under_the_Australian_stars\"><\/span>10.

The most famous version is the legendary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ayersrockresort.com.au\/experiences\/sounds-of-silence\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sounds of Silence<\/a>, which costs AUD 295 and <strong>offers a roughly four-hour programme starting with a glass of sparkling wine while you watch the sunset<\/strong>. This is followed by a rich buffet inspired by local ingredients and a fascinating talk by an astronomer about the constellations of the southern sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During dinner, traditional dishes of so-called bush tucker are served, <strong>with the menu often including kangaroo or crocodile meat for those who want to experiment<\/strong>. If you prefer meat-free food, though, <strong>the organisers happily offer excellent vegetarian options on request<\/strong>, so absolutely everyone can enjoy this luxurious experience to the full. An even more exclusive and intimate alternative is the Tali Wiru dinner for AUD 455, featuring a four-course plated menu with premium wines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dining under a sky unpolluted by any light from big cities <strong>is utterly unrepeatable, and the stars seem within reach<\/strong>. \ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> These dinners take place in the open, so definitely pack a very warm jacket, because once the sun sets, the desert quickly turns into a fridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a95ce56ba460&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a95ce56ba460\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1350\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-17.jpg\" alt=\"Camel caravan near Uluru\" class=\"wp-image-393764\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-17.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-17-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-17-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-17-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-17-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-17-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-17-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-17-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-17-1392x1044.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Christophe95 \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_Uluru_actively_by_bike_or_on_camelback\"><\/span>11.

The Outback Cycling company offers bike rentals right by the cultural centre, <strong>with a basic three-hour rental costing AUD 80<\/strong>, or AUD 129 if you also use their bus transfer from the resort. Riding along the flat trail around the rock is very pleasant and lets you circle the whole mountain much faster than on foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another very popular and historically stylish option is <strong>watching the landscape from the back of the ship of the desert<\/strong>. Camels aren&#8217;t native to Australia, but they were brought here in the nineteenth century to transport cargo, and <strong>today they&#8217;re an inseparable part of the outback<\/strong>. A short ninety-minute ride called the Camel Express starts at AUD 98, but there are also pricier options tied to sunset viewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the saddle of a camel <strong>you get a completely new perspective on the surrounding bush<\/strong>, and you&#8217;ll save your tired legs too. \ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> If you choose cycling, set off first thing in the morning, because as the day wears on, riding in the hot desert air turns from a pleasant outing into a fairly gruelling workout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a95ce56ba97d&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a95ce56ba97d\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1012\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-18.jpg\" alt=\"The walls of Kings Canyon along the Rim Walk\" class=\"wp-image-393766\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-18.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-18-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-18-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-18-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-18-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-18-696x391.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-18-1392x783.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Hardlinerr \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_Kings_Canyon_and_the_legendary_Rim_Walk\"><\/span>12. Kings Canyon and the legendary Rim Walk<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Roughly three hundred kilometres from Uluru lies <strong>Watarrka National Park, whose main jewel is the monumental Kings Canyon<\/strong>. This enormous sandstone canyon with sheer walls over a hundred metres high <strong>offers one of the best hiking trails in all of Australia, the famous Rim Walk<\/strong>. The route measures six kilometres and takes three to four hours to complete, with the most demanding part being the steep climb right at the start, aptly nicknamed &#8220;Heart Attack Hill&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you&#8217;ve climbed to the rim of the canyon, <strong>you&#8217;ll be rewarded with fantastic views into the deep abyss and a walk through a labyrinth of weathered rock domes<\/strong>. Midway along the route, wooden steps descend into an oasis called the Garden of Eden, <strong>a shady gorge with a permanent pool surrounded by lush vegetation<\/strong>. It&#8217;s crucial to know that this place is sacred to the Indigenous people, so swimming in the pool is strictly forbidden \u2014 and please genuinely respect what the signs say. The hike is also physically demanding, and in the heat the same strict rules apply as on the other trails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> If the temperature is climbing towards 36 \u00b0C, you must set off before nine in the morning without exception; for less able walkers there&#8217;s the flat, barrier-free Kathleen Springs trail, 2.5 kilometres long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a95ce56baec7&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a95ce56baec7\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1350\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-19.jpg\" alt=\"Entering Alice Springs, the gateway to the red centre of Australia\" class=\"wp-image-393768\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-19.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-19-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-19-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-19-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-19-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-19-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-19-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-19-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-19-1392x1044.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: DaHuzyBru \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13_Alice_Springs_gateway_to_the_rugged_outback\"><\/span>13.

Visiting both centres shows you the harsh reality of life in the interior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you visit the town in spring, <strong>you might catch the amazing ten-day <a href=\"https:\/\/parrtjimaaustralia.com.au\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Parrtjima festival of light<\/a><\/strong>, which is also free to attend. \ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> The exact festival dates shift slightly each year, so before planning a spring trip, check the precise dates on the event&#8217;s official website so you don&#8217;t miss the spectacle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a95ce56bb3a9&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a95ce56bb3a9\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1350\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-20.jpg\" alt=\"A gorge in the West MacDonnell Ranges\" class=\"wp-image-393770\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-20.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-20-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-20-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-20-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-20-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-20-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-20-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-20-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-uluru-20-1392x1044.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: DaHuzyBru \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14_The_stunning_West_MacDonnell_Ranges\"><\/span>14. The stunning West MacDonnell Ranges<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">West of Alice Springs stretches <strong>a mountain range more than one hundred and sixty kilometres long, hiding the most beautiful gorges and natural swimming holes<\/strong>. The first stop, just eighteen kilometres from town, is Simpsons Gap, <strong>where early in the morning or at dusk you&#8217;re very likely to come across adorable rock wallabies<\/strong>. Another gem is the narrow, dramatic Standley Chasm, where the red rock walls tower to an enormous height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Visitors often recommend visiting Standley Chasm <strong>ideally around midday, when the sun shines straight into the narrow crevice<\/strong> and turns the rocks incredibly vivid shades. If, after the dusty roads, you&#8217;re craving a refreshing dip, <strong>head to Ellery Creek Big Hole, one of the most popular natural swimming spots in the region<\/strong>. The water here is very icy even in the height of summer, but the experience of swimming among red rocks is simply priceless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The whole area is wonderfully accessible, <strong>because the main road to Ormiston Gorge is fully sealed<\/strong>. \ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> Exploring these ranges will take you a whole day, so if you&#8217;re staying in Alice Springs, definitely rent a car and set off to discover these natural beauties, which are often unfairly overlooked by tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Uluru_belongs_to_the_Anangu_Tjukurpa_and_the_climbing_ban\"><\/span>Who Uluru belongs to: the Anangu, Tjukurpa and the climbing ban<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To truly understand the Red Centre, <strong>you have to let go of the ordinary tourist&#8217;s viewpoint and see this place through the eyes of its original owners<\/strong>. The area has been inhabited for tens of thousands of years by the Anangu people, for whom the monolith is not just a piece of sandstone but the <strong>living centre of their universe and spiritual being<\/strong>. The foundation of their view of the world is the so-called Tjukurpa, an incredibly complex system that functions as religion, philosophy, moral code and a practical map for survival in the desert all at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Knowledge of Tjukurpa isn&#8217;t passed on in written form, but <strong>is carefully preserved through intricate ceremonies and songs called inma<\/strong>. Out of respect for these traditions, at many places in the park, the so-called sensitive sites, <strong>taking any photographs is strictly forbidden<\/strong>. The reason is simple: under Indigenous law, some stories and places are meant strictly only for initiated men or only for women, and if a photo were seen by someone it wasn&#8217;t meant for, it would be a serious breach of taboo. These places are clearly marked, so just leave the camera in your pocket and treat it as basic courtesy towards your hosts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The clearest expression of respect for Indigenous culture was the <strong>historic and utterly unanimous ban on climbing to the summit of the mountain<\/strong>. For decades a sign stood at the start of the trail on which the Anangu humbly asked visitors not to climb their sacred mountain, because it wounds them, yet many tourists ignored this plea for a long time. The park&#8217;s board eventually decided to permanently close the climbing route, <strong>which came into effect on 26 October 2019, symbolically exactly on the 34th anniversary of the so-called Handback<\/strong>, when the land was officially returned to the original inhabitants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Celebrations of the land&#8217;s return are hugely important to the community, and <strong>October 2025 saw huge celebrations of the 40th anniversary of the Handback<\/strong>, held right at the Talinguru Nyakunytjaku lookout with concerts and exhibitions. When you find yourself wondering why this mountain is so magnetic to people, <strong>remember the staggering physical statistics of this giant<\/strong>: it rises 348 metres above the plain, its circumference measures 9.4 kilometres, and it weighs an unimaginable 1.425 billion tonnes. And although part of the mass lies hidden beneath the surface, it&#8217;s precisely the visible beauty, changing colour in the rain, that drives people to send those cursed &#8220;sorry rocks&#8221; back home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a95ce56bb94c&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a95ce56bb94c\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-uluru-anangu.jpg\" alt=\"Uluru under clouds; the rock changes colours after rain\" class=\"wp-image-393776\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-uluru-anangu.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-uluru-anangu-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-uluru-anangu-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-uluru-anangu-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-uluru-anangu-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-uluru-anangu-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-uluru-anangu-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_the_Red_Centre_costs_budget\"><\/span>How much the Red Centre costs: budget<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A trip into the Australian interior is definitely not among the cheapest affairs, and <strong>it&#8217;s good to prepare yourself both mentally and financially for the higher price level<\/strong>. The biggest item in your budget will undoubtedly be transport and accommodation, <strong>because the three-day park pass at AUD 38 is the smallest amount in the overall picture<\/strong>. If you opt for the more comfortable flight straight to Ayers Rock Airport and a stay in the Yulara resort, be aware that you&#8217;ll pay a premium for comfort in a monopoly environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a basic rough budget for three nights for two people, count on roughly these costs: <strong>return domestic flights will cost you approximately AUD 800 to 1,000<\/strong> depending on your departure point and how far ahead you book. Mid-range accommodation like the Desert Gardens Hotel will swallow another roughly AUD 1,000 to 1,200 for three nights. <strong>If you rely on shopping at the local IGA supermarket and cooking for yourself<\/strong>, you can push food costs down to a reasonable AUD 200, whereas eating in restaurants every day will easily triple that amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To all of this you have to add the <strong>cost of paid activities, which can significantly inflate the budget<\/strong>. If you treat yourself to, say, the Field of Light night show (from AUD 50 per person) and the luxurious Sounds of Silence dinner (AUD 295 per person), <strong>the total budget for a couple on a long weekend easily tips over AUD 3,000<\/strong> (roughly \u20ac1,800). A more economical option is flying into Alice Springs, renting a standard car for five days and camping, which can easily cut the total costs in half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a95ce56bbe14&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a95ce56bbe14\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-uluru-road.jpg\" alt=\"Empty outback road leading to the red centre\" class=\"wp-image-393778\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-uluru-road.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-uluru-road-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-uluru-road-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-uluru-road-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-uluru-road-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-uluru-road-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-uluru-road-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_next\"><\/span>Where to next<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re planning a wider journey around Australia and <strong>looking for inspiration for more unforgettable stops<\/strong>, take a look at our big guide <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/australia-holiday-best-places\/\">holiday in Australia: 30 most beautiful places + practical tips<\/a>, where you&#8217;ll find a complete overview of the best of the whole continent.
