2025 Petermann Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

#CanadaFlightEvent #OverseasTravel #AustraliaTravel #UluruTravel #LifeTravelDestination #LifeShotPlace There are many tourist destinations in Australia, including Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. I have traveled a lot in Australia while on a working holiday, but if you ask me where I liked the most, I would definitely say Uluru. It was a hot day that exceeded 42 degrees, but the huge Ayers Rock that stood guard over Uluru, the stars that covered the whole world, the Milky Way, and even the sand that turned my shoes red, it was a place that made me feel like I was in a movie. Drinking wine while looking at the picturesque Ayers Rock and having a barbecue dinner with the vast Milky Way as the ceiling made the red desert Uluru an unforgettable travel destination. Here at Uluru, they say hello, thank you, and welcome like this: 'PALYA!'

The world's largest monolith - Uluru🇦🇺 8 years ago, when I was gradually approaching Uluru on the bus, I felt very excited and could feel my body filled with power. Later I found out that Uluru is a place of energy🌕. Although I have been to many places of energy, only Uluru can make me feel the power personally. I have always wanted to come to this special place again. I'm really happy to be here again.♡ Uluru is 348 meters high, taller than the Tokyo Tower. If you look closely at the fourth photo, you will find a small figure, hoping to feel the enormity of Uluru💭. You can overlook Uluru by helicopter, you can ride a unicycle around Uluru, and you can touch it (only where it is allowed). The place to stay is the five-star hotel 'Sails in the Desert'. The hotel is very beautiful and has a swimming pool. The last photo shows the five stars forming the Southern Cross, which is very cute🫶🏼🌌. ▼ 📷 ① ② ③ ④ ⑤ ⑥ ⑦ ⑧ ⑨ 🐨Australia Travel Summary

Uluru, or Ayers Rock, is a massive sandstone monolith in the heart of the Northern Territory’s arid "Red Centre". The nearest large town is Alice Springs, 450km away. Uluru is sacred to indigenous Australians and is thought to have started forming around 550 million years ago. It’s within Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, which also includes the 36 red-rock domes of the Kata Tjuta (colloquially “The Olgas”) formation #mytripvlog #tripblazers #foodie #beachlife #mytripvlog

When talking about the center of the world or the huge rock in central Australia, I believe everyone will say the name Uluru without any prior agreement. However, the place introduced today is not inferior to Uluru at all. It is even taller, wider and more spectacular than Uluru. This is Kata Tjuta, which is listed as a World Natural and Cultural Heritage together with Uluru. Kata Tjuta, also known as Mount Olga, was named in 1872 by explorer Ernest Giles in memory of the Russian-born Grand Duchess Queen Olga. The local government officially adopted a dual naming policy on December 15, 1993, so today, we often see these two names appearing at the same time. According to the language of the local Aboriginal people, Kata Tjuta means many heads. In fact, Kata Tjuta is indeed composed of 36 uniquely shaped dome-shaped boulders. The boulders vary in shape and size. Most of them appear brown-red when viewed from a close distance. However, they show different colors under the sunlight, especially at sunset, when the afterglow is reflected in the valley, which is very beautiful. According to local people, tens of millions of years ago, these 36 hills were originally combined into one giant mountain, which was even several times larger than Uluru today. Later, due to crustal movement, the giant mountain gradually split into the current 36 hills. Even so, the tallest hill is still 200 meters higher than Uluru, which shows how huge the mountain was back then. Kata Tjuta is located about 30 kilometers west of Uluru. It is planned together with Uluru to form Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. They are the two main landmarks of the park. In fact, it is Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park that is listed as a world natural and cultural dual heritage. It is said that the Japanese animation master Hayao Miyazaki once came to Kata Tjuta. Seeing its mysterious grandeur, he referred to its scenery to paint the scenes of Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, which became the inspiration for his famous animation "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind". There are two trails in Kata Tjuta. One is the Walpa Gorge trail, which is 2.6 kilometers long and takes about an hour to go back and forth. It is a relatively simple entry route. You can walk along the canyon of the two highest peaks of Kata Tjuta. There is an observation deck at the end where you can see the V-shaped valley in front and feel the wonders of nature. As for the other trail, the Valley of the Winds Trail is seven kilometers long and takes about four hours to go back and forth. It is quite difficult and a challenge to your physical strength, but it has breathtakingly beautiful scenery along the way, especially the two viewing platforms, which are the best places to view Kata Tjuka. However, going to the Valley of the Wind Trail also depends on the weather. If the temperature exceeds 36°C before 11am that day, especially during the summer from December to February, the trail will be closed. However, even if the trail is open, you still need to pay attention to safety while hiking, carry plenty of drinking water and pay attention to sun protection. You must know that in the open desert with no shelter, the temperature can exceed 40 degrees in summer, and it will be unbearable to stand for a long time. Another best perspective to appreciate Kata Tjuta is from the air. If you are flying to and from Ayers Rock Airport, as long as you sit firmly on the same side, you will be able to see Uluru on the left and Kata Tjuta on the right once on the way there and once on the way back, so you don't miss both attractions. Of course, if your budget allows, you can also choose to take a helicopter to fly over Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. The price of the helicopter depends on the flight time, and generally a 15 to 20 minute flight costs around AUD120. Tickets: 3-day pass costs AUD38 Opening hours: The opening hours vary from month to month, please check the official website for the latest opening hours before departure

We spent only three days in Yulara NT, Australia. it was very hot and dry there as it was in Summer time. However, it was one of our memorable adventures! Uluru Segway tour was one of our lists. It took us about two hours to get around this amazing big rock on Segway. The guide tours were very friendly and professional. They picked us up from the hotel at 5:30 am and also provided us lovely breakfast. the tour finished around 2:30 pm. The cost was $178 AUD / person. was a bit pricey but worth every seconds! #uluru #yulara #segwaytour #australiatravel #australia #adventuretrip #adventure #couplestrip #couple

we had so much fun riding the camel for the first time! it’s like hopping on the train because each camel will be connected to each other! Each camels has its own personality, which some can be very naughty! Its totally safe and enjoyable. one thing was that my bum was so sore after almost 2 hours ride 😂. Snack and drinks also included in this trip! I’m not so sure about the price but it’s about $135 AUD / person including pick-up and drop-off from a hotel. worth it! #camel #camelride #uluru #adventuretrip #adventureday #adventure #couplestrip #couplegoals #couple #australiatravel #australia

#aprilblooms There’s something surreal about watching desert flowers bloom at sunrise, with soft morning light brushing over Uluru’s red surface. April brings a quiet beauty—wildflowers scattered across the ochre landscape, a reminder that even the outback bursts to life. And when the sun goes down? The desert transforms again. Vivid light installations under the stars make the night just as stunning as the day. It’s peaceful, powerful, and unlike anywhere else on Earth. Uluru in April is a must-experience. #UluruMagic #DesertDreaming #AustraliaOutback

📍Trip overview 🚩Route 🏖️Photogenic spots → All 🚇Transportation → About 3 hours by domestic flight from Sydney 📷Recommended photo locations → Basically everything is photogenic, but the sunset and sunrise spots are especially 🍜Exquisite food → It's included in the tour, but I didn't have high expectations for the kangaroo I ate at the BBQ, so I was surprised at how delicious it was 🏠Recommended accommodation → Since I was only staying one night, I chose the cheapest out loge hotel?. Since I had signed up for the starry sky tour and sunrise tour, I think it's just right for people who just want to sleep. 💡Notes: A bottle of water costs $6, and 1.5L of water costs $12. There were places where you could fill up your water, but the tap water tasted terrible and not very tasty. Also, when I went, it was just barely tolerable, but the flies were still annoying, so I think it would be more comfortable if you had a fly repellent. #Spring0yenTrip

It takes about 3.5 hours from Sydney Airport to the World Heritage Site of Uluru. A huge rock mountain in the center of Australia. It is considered a very important cultural and spiritual place for the Aboriginal people, and is said to be a symbol of their long history and deep faith. One of the attractions of Uluru is that its color changes depending on the light during the day. Of course, we participated in the sunrise and sunset tours! Also, in the Southern Hemisphere, you can observe more stars and constellations than in Japan, which is the appeal of the starry sky tour. 🌌I was able to see the Milky Way for the first time! The number of stars was so amazing that I had the illusion that I was in space! #Spring0yenTrip

Last year, I had the most incredible road trip to Uluru, Australia, and I have to say—it was the adventure of a lifetime. 🌄 I’ve always wanted to visit this iconic rock formation, and the journey turned out to be even more than I expected. If you're thinking of exploring the Red Centre, here's what I learned along the way! We began our trip in Alice Springs, where the excitement already started to build. The drive to Uluru was about 4-5 hours, but the stunning desert landscapes kept us entertained, and the endless blue sky made the journey feel endless and magical. 🌵 We made plenty of stops along the way to take photos, grab snacks (definitely try some Aussie Tim Tams), and just soak in the beauty of the outback. When we finally reached Uluru, it was like stepping into another world. The rock is even more magnificent in person, and you can feel the deep spiritual connection to the land. 🌅 We decided to do the Mala Walk around the base of Uluru, which was a stunning hike that took us through ancient caves and gave us a chance to learn about the area's cultural significance. If you’re into hiking, definitely don’t miss it—just be sure to carry plenty of water and wear sun protection! 🏞️ For a truly magical experience, we booked a hot air balloon ride at sunrise. Watching the sun rise over the desert while floating above the stunning landscape was surreal. I’d highly recommend this for anyone looking to add a little extra adventure to their trip. The views were jaw-dropping! 🎈 If you’re visiting Uluru, respect the cultural significance of the site to the Anangu people. Climbing Uluru is now prohibited, and I think it’s important to appreciate this natural wonder in a way that honors its deep cultural roots. After our hike and balloon ride, we took a short trip to Kata Tjuta (The Olgas), another incredible rock formation. The Valley of the Winds Walk here was challenging but so rewarding. It took us through some stunning desert landscapes, and the views were absolutely worth it. 🏜️ In the evenings, we stayed at a beautiful resort nearby. The night skies were clear, and we took full advantage of the stars. Don’t miss out on stargazing; the Milky Way looks incredible in the desert! 🌟 This road trip was an experience I’ll never forget—full of breathtaking landscapes, heart-stopping adventures, and moments of pure peace. 🌏 #australiaroadtrip

Australia 🇦🇺 has well-developed coastal cities and dense populations, but the inland areas are sparsely populated. Although many tourists come to Australia for tourism, they have never visited Alice Spring in the red soil continent, which adds a touch of mystery to this magical rock. When you step onto this red continent, come and take a look at the charm of central Australia. You can choose to rent a car and drive yourself to various attractions. There are also public buses 🚌, but the frequency is less. You can also take a taxi 🚕 or make an appointment for a pick-up service. The central part of Australia 🇦🇺 is indeed different. The combination of the red soil continent and the sun 🌞 makes people feel a little hot, but don’t be fooled by this appearance. At night, the temperature will drop sharply to below 0 degrees. Coming out of the airport, we saw the welcome sign for Alice Springs not long after driving. The pioneer car arrived at ANZAC Hill, the highest point in Alice Springs. The hill was named by the locals in memory of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC). There is an ANZAC Memorial on the top of the hill to commemorate the Australian soldiers who died in the war, see Figure 3. From here you can have a panoramic view of the entire Alice Springs, and looking into the distance you can see the Macdonnell Ranges, which gives a sense of desolation. The mountain range is divided into two parts, east and west, with Alice Springs as the dividing line! [One] Alice Springs Desert Park [Scenic] Leaving Anzac Hill, we headed to Alice Springs Desert Park. Three natural animal habitats are fully reproduced here: inland river, sand country and woodland [Mountain]. Many creatures live in them, and people can observe the living habits of different species up close. There are also night walk tours where you can discover many nocturnal animals unique to Australia. Tickets are $25 for adults and $12.5 for children. The entire park can be visited in about 1 hour, see Figures 5-8. Before entering the park, pay attention to the time of bird shows and don't miss it. The keepers would throw food into the air, and a few birds would spread their wings gracefully and fly over our heads, eating the food quickly and accurately, like an air force flight show. There is also an unknown bird that can pick up stones in its mouth and use them to smash ostrich eggs to eat. It seems that primates are not the only species that can use tools. You can learn about the desert ecosystem, watch rare animals such as kangaroos and emus, and participate in activities such as desert hiking, bird watching, and star observation. [Two] Alice Springs Telegraph Station Historic Reserve [Tent]: Built in 1872, it is the original site of the first European settlement in central Australia, where you can learn about the history of early telegraph communications. [Three] Royal Flying Doctor Service Alice Springs Visitor Facility and Museum: Learn about the history and contributions of the Royal Flying Doctor Service, an organization that provides medical services in remote areas. Alice Springs Reptile Centre: There are various reptiles, and the explanations are interactive, and some animals can be touched. There is also the ANZAC Hill Observation Deck: overlooking the entire Alice Springs city area, it is a good place to watch the sunset 🌇. [Cutlery] Food Recommendations ~Kangaroo🦘meat: The meat is firm and tastes similar to beef🥩. It can be fried, roasted, or stewed. ~Emu meat: low in fat, high in protein, delicious, often cooked by grilling or frying. ~ Desert fruits: such as finger limes, desert raisins, etc., have a unique taste and can be eaten fresh or made into jam [Ice Cream] or desserts. [Mosque] Accommodation options ~Alice Springs downtown hotels [Mall]: Such as Alice Springs Desert Rose Hotel, Alice Springs Hilton DoubleTree Hotel, etc., with convenient transportation and complete surrounding facilities. ~ Resorts near Desert Park [Camping]: Such as Alice Springs Desert Park Resort, Alice Springs Desert Oasis Resort, etc., with beautiful environment and close to nature.

Ayers Rock = Uluru. Upon researching, I found that it is called 'Ayers Rock' in English and 'Uluru' in the Aboriginal language. It is one of the largest monoliths in the world. The name itself is impressive. The scenery during the day, evening, and night is each wonderful in its own way. The sunset, in particular, blends with the color of Ayers Rock, creating an amazing atmosphere. 📍Location: Lasseter Highway Yulara NT 0872 Australia ✈️Access: About 180 minutes from Sydney International Airport to Ayers Rock Airport

Uluru - Shout Out Your Love at the Red Center of the Earth💗 I finally made it to Uluru before the hottest season. Although I have seen countless photos of this big rock on social media, I was still shocked when I saw it in person! The rock changes color at sunset, which is amazing. Unfortunately, I didn't join the stargazing tour and missed the chance to take close-up photos of Uluru under the Milky Way. Some tips: 1️⃣ The highest temperature in Uluru is 35-36°C from October, so most day tours start at 4 am, which is really early!

The Valley of the Kings is located in Watarrka National Park in central Australia, about 300km from Uluru National Park and 460km from Alice Springs. This is one of the most spectacular canyons in 🇦🇺. The colors of the rocks in the canyon are very rich, including milky white, yellow, orange, brown, light purple, dark purple, etc., which will show different colors depending on the intensity of the sunlight.

Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is located in the middle of Australia. The most famous is Ayers Rock, which is known as the heart of Australia and the navel of the world. The Japanese drama "Crying Out Love in the Center of the World" was filmed here. Many fans of the drama would come here to check in, so many people also call it "the center of the world." "Uluru" is the name given to it by the local Anangu people, while "Ayers Rock" is the name given to it by the Australians, both referring to this huge rock~ Ayers Rock is 335m high and about 9.4km in circumference. It is the largest single rock in the world, formed by the earth's orogenic movement, and the part buried underground is at least 3km! It is very sacred in the hearts of the Anangu people. From October 26, 2019, tourists will not be able to get close to the boulder and can only appreciate the texture of the rock from a close distance outside the fence. 🚩Itinerary planning suggestions: 🔸It is recommended to stay for 3-5 days. Because this place has a desert climate, outdoor tours should avoid the strong sunlight from 11 to 14 o'clock. Activities are generally held in the morning, afternoon and evening. Through a series of desert hiking tours, you can learn about the story of this huge stone that is hundreds of millions of years old and the Anangu people who have lived here for tens of millions of years. 🔸The tourism resources here are relatively tight, and reservations are required, and the places are limited, so it is recommended to book hotels and activities in advance, or you can directly sign up for a package of a few days and nights. 🔸There are 5️⃣ hiking routes around the giant rock: Mala Walk, Kuniya Walk, Lungkata Walk, Liru Walk, Base Walk Mala Walk and Kuniya Walk are the main hiking routes, which only take half a day.

Because Uluru has a desert climate, the temperature difference between day and night is very large, so I wear a down jacket and two hot packs! 🔸The dinner is hosted by a local hotel and the entire conversation will be in English. It is recommended to prepare some starry sky terms in advance to avoid misunderstandings when stargazing.
