The best time to visit the Red Centre depends on what experience you want. If you want to avoid the daytime heat, then the period between May and September is the coolest, with temperatures staying between 20-30 degrees. Walking tours will be more comfortable under these cooler conditions, allowing you to explore one of the most stunning areas of the world with ease.
On the other hand, the hottest months (between October and March) bring the rainfall that allows Uluru's waterfalls to flow - a unique and wonderful sight. Of course, anyone visiting the Northern Territory during this time should ensure they are drinking enough water and have adequate sun protection.
For visitors interested in the region's wildflowers, August and September are considered the best months to schedule an Uluru tour.
