Uluru Kata Tjuta National Park
Uluru Kata Tjuta National Park is a Dual World Heritage wonder In Central Australia’s grand landscape of Desert Oaks. Here is the geological, cultural and spiritual heartland where life is guided by the Tjukurpa Cultural. Where we enjoy an early dawn walk with the rising sun washing on Uluru, an informative cultural rich base walk. Many stories belong to the rock standing 348m above the plain. We also enjoy a perfect picnic lunch and visit the Cultural Centre then with sun setting over Kata Tjuta, the “Sounds of Silence” dinner.
We do not support the crowded obsession to climb the rock out of respect for the Anangu people.
Then its time for Kata Tjuta, place of “many heads” and the “Valley of the Winds” walk through towering domes reaching 546m above the plain, then a fitting sunset celebration. We return to the desert oaks and the Red Centre in 2019 Two departures June 2 and 17

Big ideas for Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park
Ever had a big idea for a tourism business at Uluru? Now is your chance to make that idea a reality.
At Uluru Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for the Environment Bob Baldwin and Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park’s Board of Management chairperson Sammy Wilson today announced a call for culturally appropriate and environmentally sensitive business and investment ideas in the park.
“The Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park’s Board of Management put out this call today to encourage investment in their business – one of our most beloved, world-renowned tourism destinations,” Mr Baldwin said.
“The Board is made up of a majority of traditional owners of this very special place.
I applaud them for their vision. By making this call they intend to increase the visitor experiences on offer, increasing visitor numbers and enhancing people’s understanding of their country and culture, while boosting job and training opportunities for their own community.
“Additional revenue will also be reinvested in the park to protect it for future Australians to enjoy and help us protect the World Heritage listed Uluru and Kata Tjuta.
“I’m very pleased this call is going out in NAIDOC Week – when we come together to celebrate and commemorate the contribution of all first Australians. With this year’s theme that we all stand on sacred ground, I’m pleased to be standing with the Board on this sacred ground to support their work.
“This is a great opportunity for the park, for the community, for visitors, for Australian tourism and for the Red Centre region, the heart of the Northern Territory.”
Board chairperson Sammy Wilson said the traditional owners wanted people with good ideas to come and talk together.
“This is a beautiful place to bring strong ideas where we can work together, look towards the future and create something to be proud of,” Mr Wilson said.
Minister for Trade and Investment, with responsibility for tourism, Andrew Robb, said Uluru and the Red Centre presented exciting investment opportunities for the tourism industry, given the area is one of Australia’s most iconic destinations.
“100 million Chinese went on an international holiday last year, and this is set to double to some 200 million by 2020. With targeted investment in the right kind of high-quality infrastructure, Australia is perfectly positioned to capture a growing share of this lucrative market,” Mr Robb said.
“The Board is looking for fresh, exciting and engaging experiences and commercial activities to complement the existing products on offer. They want experiences that are welcoming and engaging, that help achieve social and economic benefits for the park’s traditional owners.”
Mr Robb said the initiative will complement the work being undertaken by the government as part of the Northern Australia White Paper, with a major investment forum to be held in Darwin later this year, to attract investors and expose them to investor-ready projects in the north.
“The tourism opportunities for Australia are immense, but they won’t fall into our laps; I certainly encourage businesses and investors to put forward exciting high-quality ideas to the Board, to help secure the future potential of this truly magnificent national icon,” Mr Robb said.
Expressions of Interest open today and you have until 30 September 2015 to apply.

Uluru and Kata Tjuta | Australia's Red Centre
This is part _ of a _ part series depicting my travels in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. This park is located 440 kilometers (270 miles) south-west of Alice Springs in Australia's Northern Territory and is listed with UNESCO World Heritage sites. It's an icon of Australia and a definite “must-do” if you find yourself in the Red Centre.
I had never been to a desert before so I was really excited to visit the Red Center. Traveling around Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is one of the most memorable trips I made in Australia. I'm glad I got to share the adventure with a couple cool people, too. Sadly, this is my final video with the two great blokes of David and Jonas - they were great travel buddies!

Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park - Ayers Rock, Australia
Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is home to Uluru, also referred to as Ayers Rock, a red sandstone monolith located in the heart of Australia's Red Center. The site features great hiking, colorful views and Aboriginal pictographs.
Although many visitors come to Uluru intent on hiking to the top, Uluru is sacred to the Anangu, who request that visitors respect their culture by not climbing the rock. I highly recommend taking the Base Walk around Uluru instead. This gives you the best views of Uluru in a variety of lights and angles and allows you to get close up looks at its impressive pictograph sites.
The Photos (in order)

Uluru (formerly Ayers Rock) Australia, Kata Tjuta National Park
During our visit to Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park we talk to one of the Anangus living there. He tells us that his tribe have decided FOR tourism on their land. Nevertheless, they are surprised that so many people come to their land to look at a red rock in the desert - and then trample on their holy places while climbing Uluru. That is not the only thing the rock climbers do: they relieve themselves on the mountain, the shoe rubbish paired with all other garbage washes the next rain down the mountain and that burdens the unique nature in the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The climb hasn't been expressly forbidden up to now, it didn't cost any extra money either. Only at the foot of the path was a sign indicating that the Anangus ask visitors not to climb up and thus respect their wishes. The ranger of the national park explained to us that the Aboriginals perceive people as adults who are able to make their own decisions based on information. We think this is right, but it is difficult in Australia: Honestly, if there are signs in the whole country saying what you are not allowed to do, and rarely what you are allowed to do, how can you assume that common sense is needed here? That has been completely lost with so much regulation! Our decision had been clear for a long time: We will NOT climb Uluru. As guests in every country, we naturally respect the wishes of our hosts.

Uluru and Kata Tjuta
We visited Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, a World Heritage UNESCO site in the hot, dry red center of Australia.
Our hotel welcome was to the serenade of a didgeridoo.
The Uluru monolith is a holy place for the Anangu tribe of Aboriginal people in Australia, who have been in the area for around 10,000 years.
We experienced the majestic sunrise at Uluru, saw artwork on the rock that dates back at least 5,000 years, possibly longer and walked around the base of the massive, rust-red rock rising from the dry ground in the middle of Australia. It was a sight that left us in awe.
We visited the nearby Kata Tjutas and hiked to the waterhole that is hidden between the domed rock formations or bornhardts.
The clear dry night sky in the southern hemisphere was beautiful. We saw bright stars and exotic constellations including the Southern Cross. The mysterious glow of the Magellanic Clouds was most impressive. We could see the milk of the Milky Way.
