PAY FORWARD A GREAT TRAVEL EXPERIENCE AND CREATE MEMORY WEALTH FOR YOUR GRANDCHILDREN

When you are enjoying a really great travel experience, do you wish your loved ones could have the same adventures? It is the perfect way to create a wealth of memories for your grandchildren by introducing them to some of the unique places you have learned the most from.

One of these special places might be Uluru, an enormous red rock in the desert Outback that is sacred to the Anangu Aborigines, who have lived in the area for at least 10,000 years. It is a World Heritage Site and a part of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park.

Although it appears on the horizon at almost 3000 feet above sea level, much of its structure is part of a massive underground rock slab formed millions of years ago. The light changes on its sandstone surfaces vary dramatically at sunrise and sunset, and Anangu guided tours are available to learn about the history and cultural significance of the area.

As a site of deep cultural meaning and historic ancient rock paintings for the Anangu Aboriginal people, they try to discourage people from climbing the Rock out of respect for their culture and law. However, as a jointly maintained national park area with the Australian National Parks and Wildlife Service, climbing is not forbidden unless the site is closed due to windy conditions, so approximately 10% of the visitors do climb.

The other striking monolith formations in the area are the Kata Tjuta/The Olgas, which are smaller but provide scenic hiking among the 36 rock domes.

Another special activity you would definitely want to share is a ride on a clean, friendly camel In the desert with the stunning vista of Uluru on the horizon. Both fun and cultural!
