More pointers
on Ayers Rock
Varying hues
The rock's surface conspicuously changes colors as the day passes - and according to weather conditions, your distance from it, and your viewing angle. Hues include reds, oranges, yellows, and grays.
Caves
The monolith is pock-marked with small caves - see black dots on the photo above.
Remote
Ayers Rock is in the middle of Australia in the middle of nowhere. The nearest modest-sized city (Alice Springs) is nearly 500 kilometers (300 miles) away.
Nearby wonders
If you base yourself in Alice Springs, you can make sort of a loop visiting three of my Hillman Wonder medal winners in Australia:
Ayers Rock
Gold medal
Kings Canyon
Bronze Medal
The Olgas
Bronze Medal
This proximity to three medal winners enhances your Ayers Rock trip.
