3 Days “Red Centre Magic” 3*

Day 1 -  Arrive Ayers Rock  

Upon arrival, please make your own way to the courtesy coach desk for your transfer to your accommodation.  
Ayers Rock or Uluru is one of Australia's most identifiable icons. The large sandstone rock formation lies in the Uluru Kata Tjuta National Park approximately 450 km southwest from Alice Springs. The Ayers Rock site is considered sacred to the local Aborigines. The rock’s colour changes spectacularly with the sunset, gradually turning to a deeper shade of red before fading into grey and blending into the night. The reverse can be witnessed as dawn approaches.
