Ayers Rock is not your typical tourist attraction. This monolith wasn’t erected in hopes of drawing in tourists; instead, this site has sat for hundreds of thousands of years, and in that time it has become a very important cultural and spiritual site for the Aboriginal people. In essence, that spiritual site has transformed into both an icon for the country of Australia as well as one of its top attractions.
Valley of the Winds
It’s a destination for the outdoors, Ayers Rock. Once here, visitors spend their time basking in the natural beauty of the Outback of Australia, including watching the sun rise or set, stargazing, climbing the monolith of Ayers Rock, and going for walks on the many walking trails. One of the most popular of those walking trails is the trail through the Valley of the Winds.

First Time Visitor Tips
Being both remote and a popular tourist attraction, a trip to Ayers Rock is best done when well-planned in advance. While the remoteness generally means there are fewer visitors than at something like Bondi Beach, the fact remains that there is a high season and a low season that one must take into account before visiting. Plus, transport and accommodation are limited, which has the ability to make or break a trip altogether.
