Witnessing a sunrise over Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) is an awe-inspiring experience and a 'must do' on every visitor's list. The colour changes result from the effects of the Earth's atmosphere on the sun's incoming rays. Reflections from the rock and clouds in the sky enhance the vivid colours.
Just 3 kilometres from Uluru is the latest of viewing platforms, Talinguru Nyakunytjaku – "place to look from the sand dune" in the local Aboriginal language. This lookout, which offers a stunning new perspective of the Australian icon at dawn, is just one of many viewing options.
Uluru Camel Tours offers camel rides that meander through the soft red dunes, while the surrounding flora and fauna is described by experienced cameleers. As the sun rises, you can gaze upon the rich red hues that surround Uluru and the vast landscape.
If a peaceful camel ride is not your cup of tea, you can’t go past a Harley ride for a shot of adrenaline. Strap in and hold on for an exhilarating trip circumnavigating Uluru, while you take in the desert landscape from a truly unique perspective.
For avid photographers, there is no better way to see Australia's desert heartland than from the sky. A helicopter or scenic flight around Uluru and Kata Tjuta is an unforgettable experience that will highlight the sheer enormity and undeniable raw beauty of the Australian outback.
And for the traditional dawn greeting, there’s the simple but classic experience of sitting on the back of a 4WD, coffee and biscuits in hand, camera in tote. Looming Uluru sunrise – excitement and awe on stand-by.
