Family Review of Uluru/Ayers Rock

Learn about Anangu culture and see workshops devoted to aboriginal art and crafts, learn about bush tucker, or enjoy a traditional dance in the Uluru-Kata Tjuta Cultural Centre.

Families with older children might like to tackle the 10.6-kilometer loop around Uluru. This will take around three and a half hours. Take plenty of drinking water, and try to complete it in the morning, before the day gets too hot.

One of Australia's most iconic attractions is up there on the wish list of almost everyone who visits the country. It is also a place that many Australians yearn to visit. This large sandstone rock formation has captured the imaginations of millions thanks to its vivid red color and colossal size. Standing over 318 meters high and with a girth of eight kilometers, it is the second-largest monolith in the world. It is also sacred to Aborigines, who ask visitors not to climb it. For families who don't want to climb, there are a host of other things to do. First off should be a trip to the Uluru-Kata Tjuta Cultural Centre, an architecturally impressive free-form structure that blends effortlessly with the outback scenery. Leaving the center, the Liru Walk (four kilometers) can easily be tackled by families, while the Kuniya (one kilometer), Mala (two kilometer) and Lungkata (four kilometer) walks from the base of Uluru are also good options. A number of walks also leave from Talinguru Nyakunytjaku. These are wheelchair accessible, so you should be able to push a sturdy stroller around them.
