Ayers Rock, also known in the aboriginal tongue as Uluru, is one of the world's most unusual and infamous natural landmarks. Set as it is in the middle of the desert of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park in the 'Red Centre' of Australia's Northern Territory the lack of light pollution and low humidity make for excellent night-time visibility.
Various night sky shows are available in the area, employing expert astronomy guides to lead the unfamiliar through the majesty of the Southern Hemisphere night sky; pointing out the Southern Cross, the large and small Magellanic Clouds, teaching the rudiments of navigating by the stars and sharing the cultural and mythological histories of the individual constellations.
Accommodation of all kinds is readily available at the Ayers Rock Resort, from hotel rooms to villas to camping grounds, and the other tours, walks and unforgettable scenery make this an awe-inspiring setting both day and night.
