It’s no ordinary rock…It’s Uluru!
It’s huge! It’s red! It’s a monolith towering over the surrounding dunes of central Australia!
At 3.6km long, 2km wide and 350m high it’s impressive in its grandeur and role as a true Aussie icon… and the rock we see is just the tip, with most of it hidden deep under the desert.
In the same way, ‘The Rock’ is only the tip of the ‘Rock Ride’, as we explore an array of ancient geology and culture hidden deep in this amazing desert landscape. Explore ancient gorges, valleys, waterholes, rock formations and canyons, as well as 60,000+ years of indigenous history and culture. Our ‘Rock Ride’ will visit places you may know well, others you may not have heard of, and none you will ever forget.
Come on your own, as a couple, or with friends. Come with us as we unearth the secrets and beauty of the Red Centre, one highlight at a time.
No ordinary rock, no ordinary tour.
