Uluru

Visit one of the greatest natural wonders of the world, Uluru. Not only is it a spectacular natural formation, Uluru is a deeply spiritual place. You can feel a powerful presence the moment you set eyes on it.

At 348 metres high, Uluru is one of the world’s largest monoliths, towering over the surrounding landscape and some 550 million years old.

In the heart of the Northern Territory you'll find more than 50,000 solar-powered stems crowned with glass spheres lighting up the night's sky. The magical sight begins to glow at sunset and continues throughout the night, creating the appearance of a blooming garden in the middle of the outback. In keeping with the vast scale of the red desert, this is artist Bruce Munro's largest iteration of the artwork to date, with the brightly coloured light stems covering an area the size of four football fields.
