Ayers Rock Climbing Ayers Rock is one of the highlights of
my travelling life, but these days it is rare to get an opportunity.
The climb is closed if the weather is over 36 degrees (which
it often is), if rain is forecast or it is too windy. $15 entry
to the park and $25 for the transport with Uluru express (see
Transport). The hike takes around about 2 1/2 hours (although
the record for climbing it is 14 minutes). Make sure you bring
sturdy boots and at least a litre of water. To the astonishment
of the Americans there is no kiosk at the top! |

The Olgas:
Considered the little sisters of Ayers Rock, the Olgas are smaller
split rocks which form windy canyons. My guide said that more
people walk through these canyons then climb Ayers Rock. Uluru
Express offers a basic package for $40. |
