When the spiritual natives of a land are granted back their ownership of what has become one of the worlds most striking sites to see, the tourists who visit gain a deeper level of understanding and respect for all aspects of the culture, religion and spirituality.
It is therefore, not surprising why Aboriginal culture is so apparent throughout Ayers Rock National Park which is one of the few places listed as a World Heritage site for both it’s cultural and natural aspects. The park, that houses Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) is owned and run by the Anangu people. Viewing Uluru during sunrise and sunset is the most popular thing to do at Ayers Rock National Park. The spectacular change in colour of the rock and the serenity of the area will captivate you into what will feel like a dream. To combine the physical features of the National Park with the cultural aspects, take the Kata Tjuta Sunset Tour with Walk to Valley of Winds and BBQ dinner, where you can spend 6 hours making the best out of your trip with an informative guide and a delicious BBQ to wind down with at the end! Or perhaps do it the other way around with the Sunrise at Uluru with Bushman’s Breakfast by 4WD tour that will have you up before the crack of dawn to see Uluru at its most breathtaking.

The Anangu people have lived in the area for what is estimated to be thousands of years and who hold great value in both the rock formations, believing them to be the foundations of the world’s creation. The laws and religions that they follow will make sense to you when you tour the area and you will no doubt fall in love with and respect their way of life with a new understanding of a culture so rich in spiritual practices and history.
