Catching a sunset over Uluru is an absolute must-do. Sure, this big rock is a sight to behold any time of day, but it’s at sunset when the magic happens. This ancient landscape comes to life in a show of mystery and beauty.
Uluru’s not just big; it’s got this unique, vibrant red that pops at sunrise and sunset. You’ll be gobsmacked watching the sun dip, lighting up the rock in a blaze of colour.
Folks trek from all over just to catch one of Uluru’s sunsets, and no wonder – each one’s a one-off. As the sun goes down, the play of light, shadow, and colour on the rock, combined with the red dust and clouds, makes for a different spectacle every evening.
Recognised by UNESCO and pegged as one of the world’s wonders, these famous sunsets are something you don’t want to miss.
You can catch the show from one of the lookout spots in the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park on a guided tour or by cruising up in your own vehicle.
“The UNESCO-listed world heritage site is an absolute beauty and a must-see. Hop on an evening tour, and you’ll knock back a cold one as the sun goes down, with a Barbie dinner served right in the thick of the outback. For a night to remember, tuck into a bubbly champer dinner at sunset on the Uluru tour.
Don’t stress about sorting a ride or snagging the best spot; these coach tours will scoop you up from the Ayers Rock Resort and park you right where the views are ace for that perfect Outback sunset.
After you’ve snapped a bazillion sunset pics, kick back with a top-notch outback Barbie and a glass of champers under the stars.
All visitors must cough up a bit extra for the National Park Entry Fee, whether driving yourself or tagging along on a tour. This goes back to looking after the national park.
But it’s a small price to fork out for a gander at Australia’s most iconic sunset. Trust us, it’s a memory you’ll be yarning about for ages.
