BMW World - Australian Outback Adventure

The traditional owners of Uluru-Kata Tjuta are the Anangu Aboriginal people

Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park features spectacular geological formations that dominate the vast red sandy plain of central Australia. Uluru, an immense monolith, and Kata Tjuta, the rock domes located west of Uluru, form part of the traditional belief system of one of the oldest human societies in the world.

No matter how many pictures you’ve seen, nothing will prepare you for your first view of Uluru.

Even from a distance, across the rich red plain of The Centre, the power of its ancient spirit will overwhelm you.

Once you stand at its base, touch it and explore its mysteries, you will understand why it’s not only a treasured icon to local Aboriginal people, but also one of the great wonders of the world.
