Located within Uluru National Park, Ayers Rock is noted for its spectacular colour changes at sunset and sunrise, and is sacred to the Aboriginal people. Part of Uluru National Park, a cluster of 36 dramatic head-like rock domes, covering approx. 35km2, up to 546m high. The climb is 348 metres and as some sections are very steep, good physical fitness is essential. Only the designated track must be followed at all times.
Rubber soled shoes are essential.
Leather soled shoes and thongs are unsafe on what can be a slippery surface. Your hands must be kept free for holding the chain on ascent and for scrambling up steep sections. Personal items such as you camera and water bottle must therefore be secured by a strap to ensure they are not blown off by the wind. If hats are not secured and are lost visitors must not go off the designated track in search of them. Aboriginal Art Gallery.
