In the south of the territory is the Red Centre, the nation’s soulful heart where iconic monoliths soar sublimely from the ruddy desert to create a breathtaking profile against the blue sky.
Nothing can prepare you for the immensity, grandeur and stillness of World Heritage Listed Uluru. Rising from the desert plain, “The Rock” is without question one of the world’s natural wonders. It’s best observed at sunrise or sunset for the enthralling sight of the monolith changing from ochre to burnished orange and intense red. Just west of Uluru is Kata Tjuta (The Olgas), an equally captivating, but lesser known group of 36 boulders which sit shoulder to shoulder forming deep valleys and steep-sided gorges. Completing the trio of majestic sites is...
The Red Centre has a desert climate with an average maximum temperature of 35ºC between October and March, while winter months see an average of around 25ºC. The Top End has a typical monsoon climate with a dry and wet season. The dry season from May to October sees temperatures average 32ºC and the wet season from November to April brings thunderstorms and high humidity with temperatures inland around 39ºC.
