Northern Territory
The Northern Territory is Australia’s real Outback and home to the iconic natural wonders of Kakadu National Park and Uluru(Ayers Rock).
Here, you can immerse yourself in the timeless landscape of one of the world's most beautiful natural wonders. With over 65 tours, local activities and attractions within the Resort and the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, your days will be action-packed. Ride a camel across the desert dunes. Hop on a Harley, or embark on a base walk of Uluru (Ayers Rock).
The National Park has an area over 311,000 acres and comprises two main significant sites:
Uluru (Ayers Rock) - is one of the largest monoliths in the world. Made of arkosic sandstone, Uluru rises 348 metres above the desert floor and has a circumference of 9.4 kilometres.
Kata Tjuta, known also as The Olgas. Kata Tjuta is the Aboriginal name, which means "many heads'. It is a group of more than 30 rounded red domes rising from the desert floor. The tallest is said to be around 546 metres high. Kata Tjuta is about 30 kilometres west of Uluru.
Sunset and sunrise over Uluru and Kata Tjuta are spectacular, with the colours at both sites becoming more vibrant and even changing. Uluru and Kata Tjuta have significant meaning to Aboriginal people. They both form an important focus of their spiritual life.
Just a few hours' drive from Ayers Rock Resort and Alice Springs, Kings Canyon Resort is the ideal base to explore one of Australia's natural wonders.
