When you think of Australia, there are a few significant land marks that first come to mind. These include the Sydney Opera House and Bridge, the Great Barrier Reef and Ayres Rock.
Ayres rock is located in Kata Tjuta National park which is 450 kilometres away from Alice Springs, a small Australian town. Ayres Rock is also known as Uluru, which is it’s traditional aboriginal name, and is famous for being one of the largest natural landmarks in the world. Ayres Rock was named by an explorer called William Gosse who found it in 1873.
Ayres rock is considered a sacred Aboriginal site as well and therefore has a lot of spiritual history surrounding it.
At present, visitors to Ayres rock are allowed to make the climb to the top of the rock. This climb is a 1.6 kilometres rise and can be difficult to trek.
Due to the remoteness of the rock, only a few places offer accommodation close by. Expedia often have an Expedia coupon for accommodation in this location. Check out CouponCodes.nz for more coupons.
