Yulara lies at the entrance to Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, 18km from Ayers Rock / Uluru. Yulara, is a friendly modern service town with a wide range of accommodation and facilities catering for visitors to Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. To travel to the heart of the continent is to encounter a land of wondrous extremes. The country appears harsh, yet it has been travelled and lived in for thousands of years. Out of the dunes and Spinifex rise two stone formations - the immense monolith of Uluru / Ayers Rock and the domes of Kata Tjuta / The Olgas. Their scale and presence captivate the imagination of the thousands of visitors who travel to the region each year. For the Anangu people, the traditional owners, these features are not simply natural spectacles, but places of great spiritual resonance, connected to the country at large. The stories, ceremonies and art associated with Uluru/ Ayers Rock and Kata Tjuta are much more than windows on the past. They embody the living knowledge, customs and Law that the Anangu people called Tjukurpa. Voyages Ayres Rock Resort has a choice of hotel accommodation or apartment accommodation at Yulara, the gateway to Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park.
Kings Canyon is situated within the Watarrka National Park, and is a huge canyon 270m high. It is situated on the western edge of the George Gill Ranges, 300 kilometres to the north east of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park and 310 kilometres west of Alice Springs. The walk around the rim of the canyon is definitely worth it as the views are spectacular, although it can take 3-4 hours and should only be attempted early in the morning during the summer months. On your way around the rim of the canyon you will pass the tropical pools of the Garden of Eden, and the beehive rock formations called the Lost City. From Alice Springs you can get to Kings Canyon by following the Stuart Highway until the turn off for the Ernest Giles Road. This then joins up to Luritja Road, which takes you right to the canyon. From Uluru you would follow the Lasseters Highway until the turn off for Laritja Road. Once in Kings Canyon you can either stay at the Kings Canyon Resort or Kings Creek Station. Kings Canyon Resort has a wide variety of styles of accommodation as well as a selection of restaurants and cafes to eat out at.
