Uluru (Ayers Rock), the sacred monolith at the heart of Australia's Red Centre, is a place of spiritual reverence and natural wonder. Surrounded by an endless expanse of ochre sands, Uluru rises majestically from the ancient earth, its vibrant hues transforming with the shifting sunlight. Each day, the breathtaking spectacle of sunrise and sunset cast a fiery glow upon the rock. Here, you'll connect with the profound spirituality of the Anangu people, the traditional custodians of this land. Amidst the vastness of the landscapes, a unique sense of solitude and inspiration abounds, inviting a deep appreciation for the timeless beauty of the Australian outback.

DAY 2 Uluru Sunrise, Field of Light, Guided Tour of Uluru (Ayers Rock), Bush Yarns & Sunset Experience

Witness the sheer enchantment of an Uluru sunrise and be captivated by the breathtaking Field of Light – an absolutely mesmerising installation fusing art, light and nature with the emotional core of the Australian outback. Awaken before sunrise and venture to a desert viewpoint overlooking Uluru. In the midst of darkness, the globally renowned "Field of Light” unfolds dramatically before you - adorned with 50,000 slender stems crowned by radiant frosted glass orbs, sprawling across an area equivalent to seven football fields, forming an entrancing homage to the desert's splendour and the timelessness of Uluru.

From here we ascend to a private dune-top viewing area, where a panorama of the awakening Red Centre stretches out before us - witness the landscape's breathtaking transformation. The radiant sun rises behind Uluru, casting its warm glow upon the land and the sprawling Kata Tjuta. With each passing minute, the desert reveals its beauty in the gentle morning light and the Field of Light gracefully fades. From this elevated position, we capture Uluru and Kata Tjuta, their ancient forms bathed in the soft, golden embrace of a new day.

Back at the resort, embark on an immersive journey into the heart of Aboriginal culture with a Bush Yarns experience. Guided by experienced Aboriginal storytellers, delve deep into the rich tapestry of legends and lore that have been passed down through generations. As we listen to these ancient tales, we are introduced to the remarkable tools and techniques that have sustained indigenous communities in the Central Desert and engage with the local Pitjantjatjara language, a living testament to the enduring spirit of Indigenous cultures and peoples.

Later in the afternoon, we surround ourselves once again in the ancient wonders of Uluru. The first glimpse of this iconic silhouette and the enormity of Uluru never fails to amaze as we drive around the base revealing the many colours and faces of this incredible symbol – each mark carrying its own story of creation. Enjoy fully guided small-group walks of Mala and Kuniya and visit Mutitjulu Waterhole, a sacred site nestled in Uluru's contours where we learn of the Creation stories of Liru - the poisonous snake, and Kuniya - the python. Witness the art of the ancients etched into the rock and arrive at the Talinguru Nyakunytjaku viewing area, where an uninterrupted panorama of Uluru, framed by Kata Tjuta in the distance, unfolds before you.

Allow yourself to be transported to the far reaches of the cosmos, gaining insights that will leave you with a newfound appreciation for the mysteries of the universe and the dedicated individuals who unravel its secrets. Be sure to gaze towards the heavens this evening with newfound wisdom and wonder.

This evening, experience an enchanting camel ride through the awe-inspiring desert landscapes - as the sun gracefully dips behind Uluru and Kata Tjuta and seasoned cameleers weave captivating outback tales of the land. Be inspired by the stunning surrounds of Uluru and Kata Tjuta as you gently coast along the sand dunes some ten feet off the ground. Witness the mesmerising transformation of colours as the sun sets. And as twilight descends, return to the farm to unwind and savour Australian beer, wine, champagne, and the flavours of the outback, including the renowned freshly baked beer bread damper.

Wander through the fully working saddlery where all of the camel saddles are handmade. Discover 130 years of history surrounding camels and the Afghan cameleers and their pivotal role in opening up the outback in the ‘Staging Post’, including a fully restored Cobb and Co stagecoach. See the camel race track, home of the Uluru Camel Cup and trophies won from all over Australia. You will leave with lifelong memories of the outback and have a new found respect for the ‘rockstar’ camels.
