All roads lead to Uluru, the iconic rock formation is the centrepiece of numerous events and festivals in the red centre and is a must-do for visitors to the region.
The inaugural Tjungu Festival will be held from 24 - 27 April. Tjungu, pronounced tjoo-ngoo, meaning meeting or coming together in local Anangu language, will celebrate the best of Indigenous culture, past, present and future.
The colourful Outback Fest from 3 - 4 May will be an authentic Aussie outback experience. Featuring the Uluru Camel Cup race day complete with fashions on the Field and a Camel Calcutta, the weekend culminates with a true Outback Ball under the sparkling night sky.
The Australian Outback Marathon will be held on 26 July 2014 and is set to be the biggest yet. Set amongst one of the most iconic backdrops in the world, entrants from every continent will once again pound the red dirt with spectacular views of Uluru and Kata Tjuta.
The spectacular night sky is often amongst the highlights of a stay at Ayers Rock Resort, with low humidity and minimal light pollution allowing a view of the stars and planets that few other places on earth can claim. The Astronomy Weekend, from 22-24 August, will be led by some of the world’s leading experts and will include discussions on the structure of the cosmos and more.
Visitors to Ayers Rock Resort will have the opportunity to experience the natural beauty and wonder of the destination, whilst also immersing themselves in the cultural offerings throughout the resort, including cultural dance performances, spear and boomerang throwing classes, daily art markets and much more.
