Comment from Brooke

Ayers Rock, or Uluru as it is now called by most, is one of the more remote attractions in Australia. Located in the middle of the country, in the Outback, the whole act of getting there and back, and finding amenities – like food and accommodation — can be labeled a chore.

Even so, more than 500,000 people visit the glowing red monolith each year, making the long and exciting drive from bigger cities, or flying into the tiny local airport in Yulara.

Yulara constitutes the sole resort area for Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, and it is actually the only area nearby the attraction to find accommodation. As there is no camping inside the park, Yulara, just 5 miles (8km) from the park entrance, provides almost a necessary stopover for tourists at Ayers Rock.
