DAY 04: Kings Canyon to Uluru (321 km)
Early morning is the best time of day for the Kings Canyon Rim Walk, so make an early start if you wish to do this walk.

The Uluru Resort is at Yulara, situated on the outskirts of the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. This afternoon we suggest a tour out to the Rock and/or Kata Tjuta (the Olgas). Drive slowly around Uluru before heading to “The Strip” to see the famous Uluru sunset.
DAY 05: Uluru
Uluru is the world’s greatest monolith. The Rock rises 348 metres above a sandy plain covered in desert oak and spinifex. It’s believed that two-thirds of the Rock lies beneath the sand. The colours of the Rock change with sunrise, sunset and the hours of the day. Today is yours to explore all that this stunning area has to offer.
