Ayers rock, also called Urulu, is a world heritage site in Northern Territory. The easiest way to get their is by going to Alice Springs, the closest town.
Getting into the national park will cost you $25 and its good for 3 days. One of the best things you can do at Ayers rock is to go climbing up the rock. Its a steep climb but only takes an hour, basic fitness is all you should require. Photography and
