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

#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!'

I've traveled to many countries overseas, and this is one place that left a lasting memory that I'm glad I went to! It used to be called Ayers Rock, but now it's called Uluru, a name given to it by the Australian aborigines. It is the second largest monolith in the world. It is a rare tourist destination that is registered as both a natural and cultural World Heritage Site. Although it is no longer possible to climb Uluru (Ayers Rock), it was a truly amazing place. ୨୧――――――――――――――――――୨୧ information Place visited📍Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park (Ayers Rock) Country📍Australia Access📍 ・About 45 minutes from Alice Springs ・About 2 hours and 20 minutes by plane from Cairns *There is a shuttle bus from the airport to Ayers Rock Resort ୨୧――――――――――――――――――୨୧ #Memories of overseas travel #Trip to Australia #Ayers Rock #Uluru #World Heritage Site

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

—A 348-meter solitary monolith standing in the desert for 500 million years, a timeless totem in the sacred land of the Indigenous people ⏳ 📅【Magic Hour Schedule】 🌅 Dawn Prelude (May-Sept): Arrive at the viewpoint 30 minutes before sunrise. Watch the rock transition from deep purple to molten gold, with 12°C temperature difference creating morning mist that wraps its base, forming the illusion of a "burning monolith." 🌇 Twilight Finale (Nov-Mar): During thunderstorm season, sunsets paint the clouds crimson-purple, with the rock's reflectivity surging by 187%. Recognized by UNESCO as one of the "World's Top 10 Most Stunning Sunsets." 🌟【Sacred Trilogy Rituals】 1️⃣ Mutitjulu Waterhole Pilgrimage Hike 2.6km along the Aboriginal "Kuniya Snake Dreaming" trail, collecting ancient groundwater (pH 8.3) seeping from rock crevices in leather pouches. Participate in ochre handprint ceremonies in cave galleries. National Park limits entry to 300 visitors daily. 2️⃣ Celestial Banquet Decoding Dine on white linen-draped dunes 300m from the rock, where waiters with night vision serve kangaroo Wellington steak. Observatory lasers map the Southern Cross while Anangu elders play "Milky Way Creation Song" on didgeridoo. 3️⃣ Magnetic Field Mapping Scan the monolith's base with geoscience-grade magnetometers detecting 17.3Hz Schumann resonance (Earth's heartbeat). Data shows the "Rainbow Serpent Fissure" on the eastern flank has 412% stronger magnetism than surrounding desert. 📸【Color Equations】 ▫️ Stratigraphic Chromatography: Post-rainstorm, use 800mm lenses to capture mineral-rich runoff—ochre iron stripes interlacing with turquoise copper veins, revealing 12 mineral hues per frame. ▫️ Moonlit Monolith: During full moon, employ ISO6400+30s exposure to transform honeycombed pores into 2600-point light matrices, enhanced by star diffraction filters. ▫️ Thermal Sand Canvas: At 45°C midday, FLIR cameras capture heat waves projecting liquid halos on the rock—a technique that won Australian Geographic a World Nature Photography Award. 🚁【Desert Crossings】 🐫 Camel Maglev: Ride solar-powered, GPS-tagged camels from Ayers Rock Resort, sipping camel milk frappés in 40°C heat, earning commemorative metal "Crossing Certificates" at journey's end. ✈️ SkyDome Aircraft: Cessna 208B sightseeing planes with 72-layer optical window coatings activate holographic overlays at 600m altitude, highlighting 450-million-year-old fault lines. ⚠️【Sacred Taboos】 ▪️ Permanent Climbing Ban: Since Oct 26, 2019, ascent paths are cultural crime scenes—violators face AU$65,000 fines and Indigenous community service orders. ▪️ No approach within 1km when temperatures exceed 40°C—83% of recent heatstroke cases at the emergency station involved photographers edging too close. ▪️ Photography prohibited at the southeastern "Ancestral Resting Area"—forbidden images are auto-deleted by park iris scanners. Satellite data confirms Uluru is subsiding 0.3mm yearly. The Anangu have launched the "Memory Crystal" project: encoding the rock's molecular structure via nanolaser in quartz capsules buried 300m underground for 1 billion years.

Wow, what an experience. Learning about aboriginal culture and heritage.

#AustraliaWorkingHoliday #Australia #Uluru #KingsCanyon #NausicaaoftheWind #NorthernTerritory Recording this journey to explore Uluru, the center of the world, also known as the navel of the earth. I have always believed that the tranquility or shock brought by nature must be witnessed with one's own eyes to be experienced. Although the temperature here is so hot that it almost bakes me dry after living in Tasmania for a year, I still like this place very much from the bottom of my heart, and I am glad that I can be in this magnificent scenery. It is difficult to describe such a touching feeling in a few words, but it will always be remembered in my mind. A few years ago, when I was working on a part-time job, I read a book that said, "If you don't leave your usual room and don't travel to that place at that time, you won't be able to drink that cup of coffee and know that a cafe has opened there. The so-called perfect trip will always happen in the next trip." I am grateful that I walked out of that room, and I am even more grateful to the perfect travel companion who accompanied me on this journey. — The following is a brief sharing of travel expenses This time we planned a four-day and three-night trip, with four people traveling by car without a tour group. Flights from Brisbane: over 300 AUD/person Departing from Tasmania, over 800 AUD/person (without luggage allowance) Accommodation Outback Lodge 150AUD/person (Backpacker room for 4 people with bunk beds) Thrifty car rental 172 Australian dollars per person (daily mileage limit 100 kilometers, exceeding the charge of about 0.35 Australian dollars per kilometer) Additional mileage fee 51 AUD/person Gasoline: 55 AUD/person Food 65 AUD/person (including biscuits and snacks, self-cooked, no eating out) Kata Tjuta National Park Tickets 38 AUD/person 36-minute helicopter experience 419 AUD/person (divided into 15/25/36 minutes, 36-minute plan allows you to watch Uluru at sunset) The basic total cost is about 950 Australian dollars per person (excluding air tickets) - It is recommended that those who want to explore stay for one or two days to appreciate the beauty of this place at a more comfortable and slow pace. It can be regarded as reserving a day to deal with various force majeure factors. Finally, I highly recommend the experience of watching the sunset from a helicopter. Although it is very expensive, it is worth it!

#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.

Recently, sunsets in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, have become popular, with many people rushing to Malaysia as "weekend warriors" just for that intense romantic moment, which can heal a tiring life. Actually, the claim that "Kota Kinabalu has a Top 3 sunset globally" doesn't have any authoritative official ranking to support it. In the famous sunset rankings selected by the travel media Bounce, Kota Kinabalu isn't even on the list. So which incredible sunsets are on the list? Let's take a look~ 🌅 Uluru, Australia Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, is a massive sandstone formation in central Australia. This rock holds sacred significance for Indigenous Australians and, according to research, began forming around 550 million years ago.

At sunset in the Maldives, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkles on the sea, shimmering, and the whole world is bathed in a pinkish-purple hue. 🌅 Haleakalā, Hawaii Haleakalā, also known as the East Maui Volcano. Due to its high altitude, Haleakalā has very low light pollution around it, providing ideal conditions for sunset viewing. Standing on the summit, watching the sun slowly set, the feeling is beyond words. 🌅 Santorini, Greece Santorini's seascape is one of the most recognizable in the world. It features colorful cliffs, azure waters, and whitewashed buildings. 🌅 Angkor Wat, Cambodia Located in Siem Reap Province in northern Cambodia, Angkor Wat is the largest religious complex in the world.

Best Time to Visit 🌦️ – While rain at Uluru can happen at any time, the wet season (November to March) gives you a better chance. But be prepared, as the weather can be unpredictable! 🌧️ 2. Pack for All Conditions 🧳 – Uluru's weather can change quickly, so bring both light clothing for hot days and warm layers for cooler evenings. Don’t forget a waterproof jacket or poncho just in case! 3. Stay Safe in the Wet ⚠️ – If you’re driving during rainy weather, keep an eye out for slippery roads and be cautious when hiking. Some trails may become slippery, so make sure you're prepared with sturdy shoes! 🥾 4. Capture the Moment 📸 – Rain or shine, Uluru is a photographer’s paradise. If you’re lucky enough to see waterfalls, make sure you snap some shots, but also take a moment to just take it all in. 5. Respect the Land 🙏 – Uluru is sacred to the local Anangu people. Always follow the guidelines and be mindful of the cultural significance of the area. 🚙 Getting to Uluru: Uluru is about a 5-hour drive from Alice Springs, so make sure your road trip is planned with plenty of rest stops along the way. The drive is straightforward, but keep in mind that you’ll be crossing a lot of open desert terrain, so fuel up and pack snacks! 🌟 Rain or Shine, Uluru is Magical Even if you don't catch the waterfalls, Uluru is a stunning sight in any weather. Whether it’s the dramatic sunsets or the changing colors of the rock, you’ll leave with memories to last a lifetime. #australiaroadtrip
