Alice Springs lies almost in the geographical centre of the immense Australian landmass, some 1500 kilometers from the nearest major city. Uluru is 475km by road from Alice Springs. It takes around 50-60
minutes to fly, and around 4.5 - 5 hours to drive. Watching the colour of Uluru and Kata Tjuta change is a spectacular and popular activity. The colour changes result from the effects of the Earth's atmosphere on the sun's incoming rays. |
