Interesting contrast between desert and mountains. A good place to go to cool off if you are visiting during the summer months. The restaurant food was OK, the views were spectacular.

My Review
This was the first thing that we did upon arrival in Uluru. The 30 minute flight that we took was a good overview of the area and truly helped us appreciate the size of Ayers Rock and the Olgas. We never would have appreciated the size of the Olgas, because you cannot drive around them as you can Ayers Rock. Since we were not about to violate the Aboriginal preference that people not climb to the top this trip provided us with the aerial views that would have been achieved with the climb. The pilot was personable, informed and most helpful, positioning the helicopter so that everyone could have an opportunity take pictures. This is a not to be missed experience.

My Review
The food was marvelous with a great deal of variety featuring dishes that included local specialties. The storytelling by the aborigine was riveting and engaging. But the absolutely most wonderful part was the setting. The rainforest with your way lit by candles, the dining area lit by only candles, the silence of the rainforest except for the sounds of rainforest all around you. It was magical, we would do it again and again and everyone who goes to Northern Queensland should experience this.
