Places to Visit (Attractions and Tours):
Watarrka National Park in the
Red Centre is home of the Luritja people for tens of thousands of years. Their word, watarrka, is the name for the umbrella bush that grows here.
The park contains rugged ranges, gorges and rock-holes and is a refuge for many plants and animals. The most spectacular of these formations is
Kings Canyon, a rich and fertile garden that is pocketed between towering sheer rock walls. The surrounding area is otherwise inhospitable desert. The canyon takes its name from the Kings Creek that flows through it.
The
King's Canyon Walk - a 6 km loop that climbs to the top of the canyon and traces the rim of the towers before descending to the carpark. Delightful waterholes, cycads, riverine vegetation and the "Garden of Eden' are to be seen on this track. You'll also see the "
Lost City " rock formations and a rock shape curiously called the "Camel's Head". Allow 3-4 hours as there are some steep sections, stairs and boardwalks.
Uluru is one of the most magnificent sights in Australia - Remote, awesome and splendid in colours that vary as the day unfolds from soft blue hues to glorious orange-reds. Part of the experience of traveling here is becoming acquainted with Aboriginal customs and beliefs, and the sense of Aboriginal spirituality that envelopes the rock. Aboriginal guides lead tours around the base of the rock and explain the significance of features to their culture. For those exploring on their own, interpretative signs assist in gaining an understanding.
Out of respect for the preference of the Aboriginal owners, many people do not climb Uluru. For those who wish to, a climb to the top is not for the faint-hearted or the unfit. The steep ascent takes about 45 minutes and climbers should make sure they carry a drink. A walk around the approximately 9-kilometre base reveals caves, overhangs and interestingly sculpted formations in the deeply eroded yet smooth rock face.
