Uluru & Northern Territory Holidays

Rising 348 metres above the rust-red plains of the Northern Territory, Uluru (or Ayers Rock) is a 550-million-year-old sandstone monolith and a sacred Aboriginal site for the Aṉangu people.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Uluru is best explored as part of an Australia multi-centre holiday, a tailor-made Australia tour or even during an unforgettable luxury rail journey aboard The Ghan, which traverses Australia from Adelaide to Darwin through its sun-scorched Red Centre. Famous for its shifting colours at dawn and dusk, Uluru's Martian-like appearance transitions between glowing shades of ochre, amber and deep crimson. Whether viewed beneath a tapestry of stars, explored during a guided hike around its base, gazed at from the cockpit of a scenic flight as it glides over the endless desert, or simply admired in the fiery light of dawn, Uluru is a natural spectacle of powerful beauty whose immense presence leaves a lasting impression.

The capital of the Northern Territory, Darwin is a vibrant tropical city that sits on the coast of Australia’s Top End, where waterfront dining, colourful markets and rich Indigenous culture meet spectacular sunsets over the Timor Sea. From Darwin, you can venture into the ancient wilderness of Kakadu National Park, a breathtaking landscape of dramatic escarpments, cascading waterfalls, sprawling wetlands and Aboriginal rock art dating back thousands of years, where saltwater crocodiles, exotic birdlife and extraordinary natural beauty create one of Australia's most pristine wilderness regions.
