Uluru/Ayers Rock
Uluru is the Aboriginal name for Ayers Rock. It is the largest sandstone rock formation in the Northern Territory and one of Australia’s most recognised icons and is also listed as a World Heritage Site. The top of Uluru is 1,142 feet above the land and the base is an astonishing 5 miles around.
Uluru changes colour depending on the time of day due to the light and sunset a particularly remarkable sight when it briefly glows red. Tourists can climb to the top of the Uluru provided that there are not any strong winds. It takes about an hour to climb to the top.
The local Aboriginals do not climb Uluru due to its spiritual significance. In 2009, the Australian government indicated that climbing Uluru might no longer be allowed under the proposed "Draft Management Plan 2009-2019".
Sydney & Whitsundays
I had 3 weeks hoilday, and wanted to see my brother and family in Australia. My brother lives in Bondi, so thought it best to stay in this area.
I stayed at the Swiss Grand Bondi hotel on Bondi Beach which was fabulous. Lovely spacious rooms with small separate room off bedroom and great rooftop swimming pool and spa. Bondi beach has great beach/walks/restaurants/bars/shops and is only 20mins from city centre, so we had best of both words. Were able to go to city centre to do harbour cruise, city tour and wander around the city & harbour area taking it all in.
After Sydney we flew to Hamilton Island and spent a few days at the Reef View Hotel. Hamilton is great with loads to do, nice restaurants, good sailing trips. Highlight was sailing trip to Whitehaven beach, stunning.
Everything was arranged by Australia Travel Centre, top class, Thanks for knowledge and professionalism.
